About Tab Reuser
Tab Reuser prevents duplicate tabs by intelligently reusing existing tabs when navigating to matching websites by specifying a domain or full URL address. Never clutter your browser with multiple tabs for the same site again!
KEY FEATURES
Two Modes of Operation:
• Selective Mode: Choose specific websites to reuse (default)
• Auto Mode: Reuse ALL tabs, with exceptions list
Smart Features:
• Flexible URL pattern matching with RegEx support
• Hold Command/Control while clicking to bypass and open new tab
• Enable/disable individual entries without deleting
• Visual badge notification when tabs are reused
• Track redirects with pipe-separated URL alternatives
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add websites you want to reuse (e.g., eBay, Jira, Reddit)
2. Click any link matching your patterns
3. Existing tab automatically reused instead of opening duplicate
4. Hold modifier key to open new tab when needed
PRIVACY FOCUSED
• All data stored locally in your browser
• No external servers or analytics
• No data collection or tracking
• Open source and transparent
Try Selective Mode to keep important sites organized, or enable Auto Mode for an ultra-minimal browsing experience with zero duplicate tabs!
