Prevent Duplicate Tabs In Google Chrome

Multi-Tab browsing is one of the best feature of browser that has been invented since Chrome was first released. It make your browsing more organize and better than opening multiple windows. Sometimes we open the same URL in multiple tabs which can happen accidentally or unintentionally. This can be prevented using an extension called Prevent Duplicate Tabs. This extension lives by its name, it checks if your about to open the same URL that is already opened in another tab and then prevent it. It supports three modes: keep the new tab and close the old one, keep the old tab and close the new one, and deactivate this extension. Once installed, the extension adds an icon next to the URL bar that can be clicked to toggle between the modes.


 

When the arrow indicator is color blue or green, it means the extension is working in background preventing duplicate tabs. When the arrow is red, it indicates the extension is inactive.
