Duplicate Tabs Closer for Chrome and Firefox is an Open Source extension/add-on capable of detecting and ultimately closing duplicate tabs.
Duplicate Tabs Closer will automatically close duplicate tabs when detected but can also be set to do nothing except monitor tabs and update the badge icon to indicate the number of duplicate tabs detected. On the remaining tab options (used with "Close tab automatically), it can do nothing (default) where nothing is done after the duplicate tab is closed. Or you can use activate once the duplicate tab is closed, the remaining tab is activated. It can also be set to apply opening tab behavior. Once the duplicate tab is closed, depending on the default tab behavior, the remaining tab will be moved to the closed tab position and activated if needed.
This will be useful for those that wind up with many open tabs where the tab's name may be obscured from view, making it difficult to decipher which tabs are duplicates.
