About

Tabnormal is a lightweight Chrome extension that helps you maintain a clean browsing experience by preventing duplicate tabs.

HOW IT WORKS:
• Automatically detects when you try to open a URL that's already open
• Redirects you to the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate
• Works across all Chrome windows, not just the current one
• Smart URL normalization handles variations and fragments

KEY FEATURES:
• 🚀 Automatic duplicate prevention
• 🌐 Cross-window functionality
• 🎛️ Simple override controls
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+D)
• 📊 Real-time statistics
• 🎨 Modern, clean interface

WHEN YOU NEED DUPLICATES:
• Use the extension popup button to allow the next duplicate
• Or press Ctrl+Shift+D (Cmd+Shift+D on Mac) for quick override
• Perfect for when you need the same page in multiple contexts

PRIVACY & SECURITY:
• No data collection or transmission
• All functionality local to your browser
• Minimal permissions required
• No external dependencies

Perfect for power users, researchers, developers, and anyone who wants to keep their browser organized!
