About this extension
NOTE: this is a fork of the original Duplicate Tabs Closer with one minor change: the addition of the Alt+Shift+D shortcut (see the bottom of the description).

- Close tab automatically: automatically closes the detected duplicate tab.
- Do nothing: monitor tabs and update the badge icon to indicate the number of duplicate tabs detected.
★ On remaining tab options (used with "Close tab automatically):
- Do nothing (default): nothing is done after the duplicate tab is closed.
- Activate: once the duplicate tab is closed, the remaining tab is activated.
