No longer consistenty finding duplicate tabs - is this extension still alive?

Open Gitoffthelawn opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

This extension has worked excellently for many years, but recently it has become less reliable with detecting duplicate tabs. I have it set to simply detect any duplicate tabs by comparing the entire URL.

The last release was 5 years ago, so I'm wondering if updates are planned, or if this extension is EOL.

If no updates are planned, do users have a particular extension they recommend in its replacement? There are many similar extensions, but I always liked this one due to its reliability, simplicity, and flexibility. Also, the code is well-written, so it didn't take much time to review it all before installing it.

Ping the owner of the fork below and ask if he will release a v3 manifest extension. If enough folks ask, he will. https://github.com/SwiftWinds/duplicate-tabs-closer

Thanks. I'm using Firefox, so manifest v2 is fine, but if @SwiftWinds has time for some bug fixing while they convert it to manifest v3, that would be great.

Awesome. Thank you. Do you have a changelog handy that details improvements to the plugin?

The groups of duplicate tabs are color shaded in an alternating manner so you can tell where one group ends and another begins. Theres now a button for each group of duplicate tabs that gets rid of all but one of the tabs in those groups.

there's not much else if anything

Nice. Does the plugin now support Dark Mode? I don't remember if that capability was ever implemented.

Thanks!
