Highlight duplicate tabs with blinking
-
I think it would be better to implant this function into windows panel, as on-demand command like: List all duplicate open tab with same URL/Titles.
My reason is this feature could be very resources taxing, thus constantly checking all tabs or doing it while opening many tab could cause browser to freeze/hang - especially for those on low spec device.

@dude99 I think users who are concerned about resources should not be opening 50-100 tabs in the first place.
-
@pesala Actually it doesn't really matter how many tab are open.
If this function is automatic, then it will constantly cause unnecessary bottleneck even with just a few tab open. Imagine if this function is triggered each time user open a new tab, Vivaldi will have to struggle rendering the new tab content while making comparison between all tabs, then update the tabbar & playing flashing animation on each duplicate tab. That's a very expensive process.
As of now, Vivaldi will consume a lot of resources when opening just one new tab, I can't imagine how much worst it would be if we made it doing all those stuff when opening new tab.

@dude99 Compared to rendering a tab, checking if the URLs of N open tabs is a pretty simple task to do.
Granted as the number of tabs N grows, so will the complexity of the comparison, but you'd have to be in the area of thousand tabs before you even noticed.
Unless you're running vivaldi off a potato battery... in which case you have bigger problems than duplicate tabs.
Flashing a tab might have some impact, but that could be toggled depending on if the user has animations enabled or not.

@lonm I use Vivaldi on 4 years old laptop with 8GB ram, it run firefox just fine. But I can't say the same with Vivaldi, even after I disabled all animation, V still feel kinda laggy when opening tab.
Maybe I should upgrade my device annually just to use Vivaldi, will you sponsor me?

@dude99 I was just basing this off my (albeit non-expert) knowledge of how Vivaldi is built. I felt that compared to everything else the browser does, it wouldn't be the closest bottleneck, assuming you had animations disabled already if that was a major concern.

I m ok with this proposition but not with blinking, the blinking can be annoying, sometimes you really need duplicates.
Just marking it with a symbol or changeing the color would be good.
-
we can also add to the context menu two lines, one to close other duplicates of the current tab, and the other to close all duplicates of any tab.
-
That would be really handful feature, please consider it for implementation.
-
Any updates to this? Would love a feature like this similar to Opera.
-
I think devs should add "Close All Duplicate Tabs" button when you right click (any) tab. This option already exists in Opera and Chrome.
-
Also posting to add my vote for this feature. It’s been a huge quality of life improvement when dealing with many tabs while trying to teach online. The way Opera implements it is just to underline duplicate tabs when the cursor hovers over a tab. Any sort of visual indication to show identical tabs are open would be a huge win.
Having to manually check for duplicate tabs with a button or command is not useful.
-
@vivaldigem Commenting here does not add your vote. Clicking on the "thumbs up" button on the initial post, does.
-
@Ayespy Much appreciated!
-
I would like to see a togglable setting, off by default, that prevents duplicate tabs, with a blacklist/whitelist. For now, I am using the chrome extension 'Clutter Free', though I can't figure out a way to add the start page as an exception.

The extension Otto Tabs to auto stack tabs by host has the feature:
It is necessary to define if this URLs are the same or not: (Different Post and the same Thread)

Tab Deduper: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-deduper/fpcohiaaphpfoneofdlabjnpipbnkplj
This one is good at it's job, I recommended it simply because it work across all opened windows. But it use very high resources when you have many windows/tabs, so you should only enabled it once a while or when you feel like you have to many dupe tab opened.

More or less the same request, but framed in the sense of housekeeping issues.
So my sessions will contain cruft (unused tabs) maybe 40 out of 120 pages. And it becomes worse after more tabs are added. At certain point I start creating new tab where I had an old one and so on. And more tabs makes finding the active tab also more complicating (different bug)
You can say this a end-user failure (it might be). However it would be nice to have some incentive & tool to clean up number of open tabs. It's to some extend self-inflected pain by session restoring. Which stops forcing people to 'actively' check tabs. And bookmarking the relevant ones. And you become lazy and such with tab management.
Less tabs would improve performance too (without perf tweaking). Speed drops surely noticeable after 120 tabs. Even if those tabs only restored from session and not 'activated' - reloaded - the still causing a lag. So simply the presence of session tabs will cause perf issues.
There perspectives. At the on hand duplicates to the same domain. But well, not always that helpful. I open tend to open every link in a new tab. And well, Wikipedia has lots of links. So saying you have multiple tabs to Wikipedia isn't helpful. Next comes exact path, but that less likely. But having tab pointing the text page. Can happen, but how common?
There are instances where I accidently open webmail in a new tab. Maybe I should pin that on to top. Anyhow the filter duplicates so be fine grained; ideally somehow configurable. So explicitly saying: look for tabs pointing to gmail.com. So user defined.
Another request would tool tracking unused tabs. To prevent clogging. Say al tool showing tabs not access anymore in say last 4-7 days. Which pretty obvious indicator it became irrelevant. With option to quickly close those or move them to say bookmarks.
Blinking tabs as indicator for duplicate isn't my preference, though. There must be some alternative. One problem: someone with epilepsy might have problem with that.

This feature is so beautifully handled in chrome. When you are about to visit a url that is already open, you are presented with an option of "switch to this tab" in the address bar itself. This way of handling duplicate tabs is too clean. Vivaldi can also do the same.

Opera does it in a way where it highlights duplicates only on hovering, so this should be more efficient compared to being always active
