odd bob (ID: 000000aa092f5f0f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/06/2023 I was using close-duplicate-tab which is featured on play store, and that one worked fine but was a little too simple. Tab killer is definitely more powerful, has an active GitHub / is open source, and it allows whitelists which is an amazing feature to see! 100% would recommend this over other duplicate tab closers out there.
