Tabrador Retriever

Fetches the tab you already have: a link to a page that's already open switches to that tab instead of opening a new one.

Tabrador Retriever fetches the tab you already have. Cmd-click a link to an issue you opened an hour ago and you get yet another copy of it. Tabrador Retriever stops that: when a link would open a page you already have open, Chrome switches to that tab instead, and the extra copy closes. What it catches • Cmd-click, Ctrl-click and middle-click • Links that open in a new tab by themselves • "Open link in new tab" from the right-click menu • Links you click in other apps: chat, mail, your terminal What counts as the same page • The same address. #anchors, http/https, "www." and a trailing slash don't matter • Jira issues match on the issue key, whatever is in the query string • Confluence pages match on the page id, so a renamed page still matches • If the link points to a different #anchor, the open tab jumps there without reloading When you want a copy anyway • Click the dog in the toolbar to pause it. The badge says "off" until you click again • Right-click a tab and choose Duplicate. Duplicated tabs are left alone • Cmd-click a link to the page you're on Privacy Tabrador Retriever compares the addresses of your open tabs on your device. It can't read page content, sends nothing anywhere and has no analytics. Jira and Confluence are trademarks of Atlassian. Tabrador Retriever isn't affiliated with Atlassian.
