Duplicate Tab Extension

Duplicate your current tab via button or command (I personally use CTRL+T to replace Chrome's built-in new tab behavior).

This extension does more than others in the Chrome Extension Store in that your entire tab's navigation history and browsing context is also duplicated. Great way to fork your current browsing session! Make like Dolly and start cloning!

Chap Harrison (ID: 000000cdece0ad19) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/16/2018 One complaint: the "Dolly the sheep" icon in the toolbar looks like a faint piece of fuzz. A more iconic and high-contrast icon would be helpful.
