Help keep your chrome tabs in control
Tab Cleaner Extension
* Deduplicate your tabs (closes Chrome tabs that are duplicates in your browser window)
* Remove tab windows that have not been opened since a time you specify.
I created this to solve my own itch. I usually have too many tabs open and I never close my old tabs. This tool helps me keep my Chrome organized.
Use cases:
1. If you have a ton of the same tabs open, like reddit.com, then it will remove all but one tab.
2. Close all tabs that have not been opened in 2 hours (or any time you specify).
I hope you enjoy! If you have problems or feature request, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to help solve this problem for others!
