This is a very nice extension, but fails to detect Google Workspace (docs/slides/sheets) duplicates when the duplicated documents are displaying different tabs, slides, or sheets. I've tested this multiple times and can see that the extension only sees the 2 tabs as duplicates when I switch one of them to the same slide/sheet/tab as the other. Google changed the way the slides/tabs/sheets are specified and all that information is no longer just after the hash symbol. For example, for sheets, the format is like this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/{{DOC ID}}/edit?gid={{SHEET ID}}#gid={{SHEET ID}} Similarly, slides in Google Slides are like this: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/{{DOC ID}}/edit?slide=id.{{SLIDE ID}}#slide=id.{{SLIDE ID}} And for Google docs, the URL format for tabs is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/{{DOC ID}}/edit?tab=t.{{TAB ID}} The options in the extension only allow it to ignore characters following (#). However, as you can see, it would now be necessary to ignore any characters after the following 3 strings in the URL: "?gid=" "?slide=" "?tab=" This would fix the functionality for finding duplicates of the same Google docs file. Do you think this is something you would have the time to implement? Many thanks for your great work.

The options that are there seem to work, but why isn't there an option to keep the first open tab AND go to it? Currently if the extension is set to keep the first tab, then the new tab opens, closes, and then it just leaves you on whatever the most recent tab was and that could be anything. So you're left then trying to manually find the first tab - and with tons of tabs that basically defeats the extension's usefulness.
