Highlight duplicate tabs with blinking
-
@barbudo2005 As I said, this is a valid work around, but it's obviously not as good as a native solution that highlights the duplicate tabs (at least for me). I've used this feature in Opera and it was great, far better than Otto Tabs. I don't like tabs are forced to closed because it would be duplicate. And I don't want to toggle the setting 20 times a day.
I think it can be a great solution for you and not a good solution for me at the same time. We can both be right when you say it's a good solution and I say a bad solution for ourselves (or simply agree to disagree).
Side note:
1- Why am I not using Opera now (even though I've used it more than 10 years) ? because it's tab grouping solution is collapsing and expanding grouped tabs in the same tab well and it is not as good as Vivaldi's tab stacks. Also the tiled tabs is an extra plus for Vivaldi.2- About extensions, I prefer not to use them, but still use them when I need to. For example I always use the pocket extension, but would have preferred if it was supported natively, on the browser, then I would remove it. I didn't keep otto tabs because it's solution wasn't good for me.

I think one important information her is: How to define a duplicate tab?
I can think of three criteria which can be combined in any way depending on the website your talking about:url, tab-name and tab-content.
There is any combination of same/different that can occur in the wild.
For my personal usecase the best way would be to define a different uniqueness for each workspace.The most important one though would be the tab-name.
Finding (and closing) duplicates would then be very simple by adding a "Stack Tabs by Names" feature similar to the "Stack Tabs by Hosts".
Another Option would be a checkbox "Always open links in tabs with same name" or something like that to ensure.I think that a combination of workspaces (with open in workspace automatically) this should provide a degree of personalization that should allow a solution for most scenarios.
PS:
Another great workaround for finding tabs with the same name is the "Window" side panel as it shows tabs sorted by name and duplicates easy to spot. -
ROTFL's original post seems to have nothing to do with the Opera tab highlighting, yet the other feature requests about that are marked as duplicates of this one. I kinda wish Vivaldi had the Opera feature where if you hover over a link it shows you if it's already open, which has nothing to do with this post but if I make a separate request I'm guessing it'll be marked as a duplicate of this one. So if a developer or someone sees this and wants to add the Opera tab highlight system, now you know that part is important too, not just duplicate tabs
