Clutter Free – list and close other tabs from same website

July 14, 2020August 26, 2020 ~ Adi

List or close other tabs from current domain—right-click menu

New action: List other tabs from the same website

It does what it says: opens tab search window to display all other open tabs for current website. This action works on the sub domain level (same as the domain blocklist). This means that ‘drive.google.com‘, and ‘news.google.com‘ are treated as separate websites.

This action may be triggered using the right-click menu or (for supporters) a keyboard shortcut. The keyboard shortcut and right-click menu only work if Floating search window setting is enabled.

This action may also be triggered from inside the tab search page by clicking the website search button on a tab item (screenshot below).

New action: Close other tabs from the same website

This action is available to supporters only.

List or close other tabs from current domain—keyboard shortcuts — Custom keyboard shortcut: close other tabs from current domain

Triggering this action searches for and closes all other tabs from the same website as the current tab. This is equivalent to manually triggering the domain blocklist on the current domain.

The action may be triggered using a keyboard shortcut or the right-click menu.

That’s all, folks!

Please share your feedback, including suggestions and any bugs you find using the feedback link on tab search or the options page.

Clutter Free – allow list and block list

Allow and block lists

Clutter Free now supports two modes of controlling which sites and pages are allowed to have duplicates:

Allow list: When the allow list is used, Clutter Free will prevent duplicates of all pages, except those in the allow list.
Block list: When the block list is used, Clutter Free will prevent duplicates only for pages and domains specified in the block list. All other websites and pages will be allowed to have duplicates.

The old whitelist feature is replaced by the allow and block lists. The whitelist entries have been added to the allow list, and allow list is enabled by default.

Domain block list

The domain block list provides an even stricter control over tabs from specific domains. Only one tab is allowed for any domains listed in the domain block list.

The domain block list considers subdomains, other than www., as separate from the parent domain and each other. E.g. blocking ‘mail.google.com‘ will prevent opening multiple Gmail tabs, but won’t prevent opening Google Sheets or Search in another tab.

The domain block list also over-rules the allow and block lists. If the same domain is in both lists, the domain block list takes priority.

The domain block list is now a supporter-only feature. Non-supporters who have it enabled at the time of this change will still be able to use it.

Bug Fixes and other updates

Update: Faster switching of tabs on selection in tab search window.
Bug Fix: Domains were not being added to allow list (prev. whitelist).

Clutter Free – v. 2017.0522.3.5

May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 ~ Adi

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:

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
Added option to disable the count of open tabs, visible on browser button
Added option to whitelist pages, or domains, by clicking extension button

Bug fixes

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:

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