John Weiss (ID: 000000627bc3b61f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/12/2024 Some problems. Getting false dupes (same domain, different page), and missing real dupes.

icon

Rainbow Warrior Princess (ID: 0000003180444f95) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 BUG: Doesn't close multiple duplicates automatically when clicking extension button anymore Now you have to click on the extension button every time to close only one duplicate instead of closing all duplicates with one click. Suggestion: Add duplicate count in extension icon
