Chrome browser extension that automatically closes duplicate tabs & automatically focuses remaining tab

URLHandling 🔍 How It Handles URLs

1. Different paths → Not duplicate

   E.g Not Duplicates: https://google.com/search | https://google.com/maps

2. Different search queries → Not duplicate

   E.g Not Duplicates: https://google.com/search?q=cat | https://google.com/search?q=dog

3. Different hash anchors → Not duplicate

   E.g Not Duplicates: https://google.com/docs#page1 | https://google.com/docs#page2

4. Ignores case, ignores www, ignores trailing slash

   E.g Duplicates: https://google.com | https://www.googLe.com/
