Clutter Free – v. 2017.0522.3.5

Added new options to manage whitelist, and show/hide open tabs count, and fixed a recent bug. The big change is to how duplicate tabs are managed in the window – whether they get focus, where they are moved/located in the Chrome window.

New options:

  1. Now whitelist full domains (or just individual pages as before). Enable in settings. Whitelist domain action available from:
    • Context/right-click menu on pages,
    • Extension’s pop-up, and
    • Keyboard shortcut
  2. Added option to disable the count of open tabs, visible on browser button
  3. Added option to whitelist pages, or domains, by clicking extension button

Bug fixes

  1. Duplicate page action not working because of a bug introduced in the last version

Changes to duplicate tab focus & location

Have completely overhauled the way duplicate, and original tabs are located and focussed. The new behaviour now follows expected behaviour, without surprises.

Case 1: When a duplicate tab is opened in the background

By ctrl/cmd/shift + click, or ‘Open link in new tab’ from right-click menu.

  • the background, duplicate tab is closed,
  • the original tab is moved to the location in the window where the duplicate would have been (usually the tab after the source tab where the link was clicked), and
  • focus stays on the source tab from where the link was opened.

Case 2: When a duplicate tab is opened in current tab

By clicking on a link.

  • the source tab stays on its page – where the link was clicked,
  • the original tab, where the duplicate link is already open, is moved next to the source tab, and
  • focus changes to original tab with duplicate link

You can change the original tab movement behaviour in Options ⇒ Advanced Settings ⇒ Duplicate tab position. Options are:

  1. Don’t move the original tab – keep it where it is,
  2. Move the original tab to where the duplicate would have opened (default), or
  3. Move the original tab to the last position in the window
