I built a chrome extension that removes duplicate tabs silently and automagically. No complex interactions required. It's removed over 9000 tabs for me personally over the course of a year and a half.

How do you know about those metrics? Does the app share them with you or is it per user?

The extension has a counter that'll tell you how many were removed.
