Remove Duplicate Tabs
-
This *has been mentioned a few times but seems to be confused with Remove Duplicate Bookmarks. This is not that.
Seeing as it hasn't be posted in over a year, I thought I'd post here.
Firefox have just introduced a great feature where right-clicking on a tab that has duplicates enables a Remove Duplicate Tabs menu option.
This removes all duplicate tabs except the selected tab. A Vivaldi preference to denote duplicate as being exact URL across windows, by host or within the selected stack would be nice too.
I typically have a lot of stacks, sometimes with duplicates - Would be a great feature.

A former user of this Forum created the extension Otto Tabs to auto group tabs by domain, but it stopped working in Vivaldi in that aspect with a past update.

It has the option you requested that still works perfectly. It does it automatically.

An easy way to remove duplicate tabs, or at least a visual hint of duplicates is the most important missing feature. Some other browsers has this (not as an extension, but as a native feature) for a very long time.

Have you tried the extension I mentioned in the post before yours?

@barbudo2005 You know what, I tried it and I didn't like it.
I didn't realise but what I dislike more than duplicate tabs is having tabs deleted automatically. If I could trigger the function manually, it would be better. You can't please some people I guess

@JDub it's not that hard to select all tabs in Duplicate tabs and press Shift-Del.
Oh look, there's even a "close all duplicate tabs" button at end of list of duplicates, I didn't even notice it at first glance
Duplicated tabs it's another reason to stop hoarding tabs., you're only creating your own problems. Close them when you're done with tabs you finished using. -

Do you feel the same vertigo and fear when you open a page that you have defined that automatically goes to another workspace and disappears?
In both cases you know what is happening, it is not magic is simple JS Code.
Why are you going to do any manually if the PC does it?
-
@barbudo2005 Wow, there's certainly no vertigo and fear - Just a case of wanting to know which duplicate is going to be automatically removed before it happens. It's a reasonable thought - I'll be fine.
Meanwhile, I think this convo has dropped off the edge of it's own cliff...

@JDub said in Remove Duplicate Tabs:

Why do you care, a dupe is a dupe, delete one or the other as both are the same.
What criterion should be applied when 2 objects are the same? It's either delete the first or the second, the result is the same.http://iancoog.altervista.org/

You are very wrong! One of the duplicate pages is prettier than the other, so he wants to delete the uglier one, of course.

FWIW   snapshot release, AFAICS  oldest occurrence is left when closing duplicate tabs.
