# UPDATES 2026-04: This plugin will NO LONGER be maintained. To provide a better user experience, I’ve developed a new version of a Chrome tab manager extension and migrated all the features from this plugin to it. You’re welcome to try it out and share any feedback or feature requests. TABHarbor: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabharbor/gpjfhikboplgcknfijfbkpkmjhnggleh Prevents automatic creation of new tabs or repeating tabs when two or more tabs have the same addresses The process of closing repeated tabs is automatic based on the settings that you can determine within the extension/add-on, it is also possible to quickly disable and activate the add-on without having to access the extensions panel. You can add a host or URL to specify as an exception so that the add-on doesn't close repeating tabs. The extension/add-on has support for closing repeated tabs in incognito/incognito mode, but this works in isolation and will not share any information from incognito mode with normal mode, they are completely separate actions. Among the settings you can choose to consider or disregard querystring and hashes in URLs as a factor to differentiate them. It is also possible to configure if you prefer to close the oldest tabs and if you want to prevent the active tab (currently visible) from being closed. Closing tabs works based on Chrome API events and you can disable or re-enable such events within the extension/add-on: * Start event - Close repeated tabs when your browser is launched * Update event - Close repeated tabs when a tab is updated, more details in tabs.onUpdated.addListener * Create event - Close repeated tabs when a new tab is created, more details in tabs.onCreated.addListener * Replace event - Close repeated tabs when a tab is replaced with another tab due to prerendering or instant, more details in tabs.onReplaced.addListener * Attach event - Close repeated tabs when a tab is attached to another window or detached (creating a new window), more details in tabs.onAttached.addListener * Datachange event - Close repeated tabs when you change "sort order", "URLs", "others" and "events" configurations from extension Release Notes: - 0.8.3-2025-06: This update introduces a fully revamped cloud sync system with safer version control, in-page status feedback, and improved reliability across Chrome restarts. - 0.8.2-2025-04: add config settings page, fulfill the config backup and export/import function - 0.8.1: updated api call under rules of V3
TabHarbor
Archive, deduplicate, and recover tabs without losing context. TabHarbor — Make peace with your tabs. If you live with thirty, fifty, or two-hundred tabs open atonce, TabHarbor is built for you. It does not nag you to close them, sort them, or feel bad about them. It just makes themworkable: archive a working session into a snapshot you cancome back to, surface duplicates without losing the right one, and search across every open tab and every saved session from a single box. Calm, practical, and shaped around how realresearch and real multitasking actually unfold. Duplicate Prevention — stop them before they multiply.TabHarbor now watches new tabs as they open and quietly blocks exact duplicates of pages you already have, before they everclutter your strip. Matching rules are configurable (URLexact, normalized hash, query-param tolerant), with aper-domain ignore list for sites where duplicates areintentional. Flip it on from the popup; fine-tune it from thedashboard. A calmer, faster popup. Quick Actions has been redrawn into asingle tight row — Dedup, Archive, Manage — paired with acompact toggle bar for Prevent Duplicates and Sound. Lessceremony, less scrolling, the same one-click reach. Archive, with a safety net. Pressing Archive used to vacuumevery tab in your window in a single click, which made oneslip an expensive one. Now Archive asks before it acts: thebutton pulses, the live tab count appears in its label, and athree-second window invites a second click to confirm. Clickanywhere else, hit Esc, or just wait — and the action quietlycancels itself. Powerful action, undoable instinct.

Prevent Duplicate Tabs
Prevent Duplicate Tabs is a Chrome extension that stops duplicate tabs before they clutter your browser. If you open the same link twice, it detects the match and closes the extra tab or switches you to the tab you already have open—so you save memory, stay organized, and stop hunting through identical pages. Install this duplicate tab blocker to automatically prevent duplicate tabs on all websites or only on sites you list, with rules you control. No account, no sign-in. All settings and your local “duplicates prevented” count stay on your device. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── WHY USERS SEARCH FOR A DUPLICATE TAB EXTENSION ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Too many tabs slow Chrome down. Opening the same URL in multiple tabs wastes RAM, creates tab clutter, and makes it easy to lose your place. Whether you research, code, shop, or manage email, a tab manager that blocks duplicate tabs keeps one copy of each page unless you choose otherwise. This extension is built for anyone who asks: “How do I stop Chrome from opening the same tab again?” or “How do I close duplicate tabs automatically?” When a new tab loads, Prevent Duplicate Tabs compares its URL to your open tabs (in all windows or only the current window—you decide). If it finds a duplicate, it runs your chosen action immediately. Set a global default, then override behavior per domain—for example, block duplicates on most sites but allow multiple Gmail or Google Docs tabs where you need them. Choose where prevention applies: block duplicates on all websites (with an exceptions list), or only on sites you add to a monitored list. When you turn the extension on or change scope or lists, it also scans tabs you already have open and resolves duplicates that match your rules. Four duplicate-tab actions • Close the new duplicate and stay on your current tab. • Close the old duplicate and stay where you are. • Close the new tab and switch to the existing tab (focuses the right window). • Close the old tab and switch to the new one. Scope and URL matching • All windows or current window only—control where duplicates are checked. • Ignore URL parameters—treat pages with different query strings (?id=1 vs ?id=2) as the same URL when you want stricter matching. Open in new tab (allow duplicate) • Open in new tab (allow duplicate) – Right-click a hyperlink and choose this context menu option to open that URL in a new tab without duplicate prevention, even when your rules would normally block or merge the duplicate. Prevention scope and site lists • All websites—prevent duplicates everywhere except URLs or domains on your exceptions list. • Listed sites only—prevent duplicates only on domains or pages you add to the monitored list; skip individual pages on a monitored domain when needed. • One unified list on the options page—shows exceptions or monitored sites depending on your scope; search, add, edit, and remove entries. • Current-domain controls in the popup and options—toggle monitoring or exceptions for this page or this domain without typing URLs. Per-site rules and popup shortcuts • Site-specific rules—set duplicate action and “ignore URL parameters” per domain from the full options page. • Popup shortcuts—enable or disable the extension, choose prevention scope, and adjust this page or this domain from the toolbar icon. Control and local stats • One-click on/off in the popup. • See open tab count and how many duplicates were prevented—stored locally only. • Options page for prevention scope, global defaults, site lists, and per-domain rules (right-click the extension icon → Options). ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── WHO IT IS FOR ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── • Power users with dozens of tabs who want less tab clutter. • Developers and researchers who reopen the same documentation or articles. • Remote workers juggling email, dashboards, and docs in Chrome. • Anyone searching for: prevent duplicate tabs, duplicate tab blocker, close duplicate tabs, stop duplicate tabs Chrome, tab organizer, or browser productivity extension. • Fewer duplicate tabs → less RAM use and a snappier browser. • Less confusion from multiple copies of the same page. • Flexible rules—strict globally, relaxed on sites that need multiple tabs. • Open a deliberate duplicate via the right-click menu when you need two copies. • Private by design—no analytics, no external servers for your browsing data. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Uses tabs (read URLs, close or switch tabs, open from context menu), storage (settings and local stats), windows (focus the correct window and close empty windows after cleanup), and contextMenus (“Open in new tab (allow duplicate)” on hyperlinks—no broad host permissions or content scripts on web pages). Popup and options UI load the Poppins font from Google Fonts for display only. See the extension privacy policy for details. Click Add to Chrome, pin the icon, and choose your default duplicate action in the popup. In seconds you can stop accidental duplicate tabs and keep Chrome focused on the pages that matter.
