    Fantastic! I wish I could also remove EMPTY (blank) tabs as well beside that: reliable, perfect!

    Thanks for the review.

    The blank tabs are not recognized by the API probably because it's an intermediate state during the tab loading so you never sure if a blank tab is a blank tab or loading tab.

    I'll may add a tweak in future release.

    Nice! Finally found the option to not remove tabs when duplicating in another context/container using option scope -> container.

    Thanks for the review.

    Yes it seems that some options where enough visible, I've added a functionality to "pin" some preferred options by default

    It's not automatic deleting the duplicate tabs as far as I could tell

    Hi,

    I guess the option "Close tab automatically" is not selected.
    Click on the "Duplicate Tab Closer" button.
    In the popup panel =>click on "Options" => click on "On duplicate tab detected" => select "Close tab automatically".

    As the add-on is not named "Automatic Duplicate Tabs Closer", the option to auto close the tabs is not activate by default. ;)

    Copied this review since it matches mine 100%

    Wow! Excellent Addon! Great Job guys! :-)
    It has closed all my Duplicated Tabs, which have been created by this Addon (Tab Suspender).
    I give you 5 stars! I hope to keep up the good job.

    A great extension that helps me keep CPU usage down by aiding in minimizing duplicate tabs. A plus is that the add-on provides options to simply alert user of duplicate tabs or automatically close them when detected.

    Great plugin, but the permissions could be chosen more carefully.
    I tried to run it without "webRequest", "webRequestBlocking", "" and it seems to work well.

    (I looked into the code and found nothing fishy)

    thanks for the report, you are right I can remove some permissions not needed anymore (there are others you have not listed that can also be removed).
    I'll push the code in Github so you'll be able to look at the code more easily. :)

    Anyway, I'm not sure it's worth three stars for that.

    thanks for this bad and not useful review.. it motivates me a lot...
    and there is no exclude list so I don't know what doesn't work...
  • by Trevor, 7 years ago
    Works really well!

    Have a feature request:
    I run into this case, where certain websites' URL behaves differently, where their hash part causes content changes to the site.
    Wondering if I could have a list of websites which have their own specific set of filter configurations (for example on those sites, I'd like to disable "compare with tab title"). Could be specified by domain, or URL pattern.

    Don't work in Firefox 52.4.1?

    Don't show duplicates on list, shows "No duplicate tabs."

    Problem fixed. Thanks for the report.
  • by Rogério, 7 years ago
    I use it all the time.
    Only one request: please return the option to "Open popup" on duplicate tab detected!! I've always used it to choose if I want to close it or go back and enter other links... Now I have to choose "Do nothing", and actively look to the small badge number..... Please return the option to open popup!
    Thank you!

    I miss this option also... sadly it's not supported by the Webextension API...

    Great job, thank you. I hopelessly try to find similar addon in chrome store...

    Thanks for the review!

    The porting to chrome is planned.

    Shows the wrong number of duplicates.
    More than really, even if real quantity of duplicates = 0
    Perhaps it's conflict with "Tree Style Tab" or "BarTab Plus".
    my FF version - 55.0.3 (x64)

    UPD

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/versions/?page=1#version-0.19.2017090601

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bartab-plus/

    OK. I found how the conflict appears - when I use the "Unload" option of "BarTab Plus". "Duplicate Tabs Closer" defines the unloaded tabs as duplicates for some reason.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    As you mention, there is probably a conflict with other tab add-ons.
    Can you make a test with the suspected add-ons disabled to see if you reproduce the problem?
    Can you give me the link to those add-ons? (for exemple I cannot find BarTab Plus)

    This addon is a must have for people opening a lot of tabs :-) . Works great.
    And thank you for making webextension. 5/5
