I Built Quick Tab Cleaner, a Small Chrome Extension for Cleaning Duplicate Tabs

레서드 — Fri, 29 May 2026 08:01:27 +0000

Short intro

I built Quick Tab Cleaner, a small Chrome extension for finding duplicate tabs and cleaning them up safely.

It is not a session manager, bookmark tool, or background automation system. The goal is simple: when I have too many tabs open, I want to quickly see whether I opened the same URL multiple times, preview what will stay open, and close duplicates only when I choose to do it.

Chrome Web Store: [QTC_STORE_URL]

Product hub: https://ressurd.github.io/tools-and-products/

Problem

When I work with many browser tabs, duplicate tabs happen naturally.

I might open the same documentation page several times, click the same search result again, or keep multiple copies of a tool, issue, article, or reference page without noticing.

After a while, the tab bar becomes harder to scan. But manually checking every tab is slow, and automatically closing tabs can feel risky.

I wanted a small utility that answers one question:

Which open tabs are exact duplicates, and which ones can I safely close?

What Quick Tab Cleaner does

Quick Tab Cleaner reads the currently open tabs, finds duplicate tabs by exact URL, and shows duplicate groups in the popup.

Before closing anything, it shows which tab will stay open and which tabs are marked to close. Cleanup only happens after the user explicitly clicks a cleanup button.

The extension is designed around manual, visible cleanup. It does not automatically close tabs in the background.

Main features

Find duplicate tabs

Quick Tab Cleaner checks open tabs and groups tabs that have the same exact URL.

This is intentionally simple. It does not try to guess whether two similar pages are “basically the same.” It uses exact URL matching so the result is easier to understand.

Preview duplicate groups

Duplicate groups are shown before cleanup.

The popup makes it clear which tab will stay open and which duplicate tabs are candidates for closing.

Safe cleanup flow

Quick Tab Cleaner is not an automatic tab closer.

Cleanup only runs when the user chooses an action. The user can review the duplicate groups first, then clean up one group or all duplicate groups.

Current tab state only

The extension works with the tabs that are currently open.

It does not scan full browsing history, monitor browsing in the background, or collect page content.

Lightweight utility behavior

Quick Tab Cleaner is meant to be a small focused tool. It helps reduce tab clutter without trying to become a full tab workspace.

Quick Tab Cleaner vs Tab Session Manager / Copy Tab List

I also work on other small Chrome extensions, but each one has a different purpose.

Tab Session Manager is for saving and reopening tab sessions. It is useful when you want to preserve a set of tabs and restore them later.

Copy Tab List is for copying the current window’s tab list as Markdown, plain text, or URLs.

Quick Tab Cleaner is different. It is focused on duplicate tab cleanup. It helps you find tabs with the same exact URL and close duplicates after reviewing them.

In short:

Tab Session Manager: save and restore tab sessions
Copy Tab List: copy tab lists
Quick Tab Cleaner: find and clean duplicate tabs

Privacy / local behavior note

Quick Tab Cleaner uses the Chrome tabs API to read currently open tab information so it can detect duplicate URLs and show cleanup previews.

It does not use host permissions. It does not scan browsing history in the background. It does not collect page content.

The extension does not use analytics, advertising, cloud sync, accounts, or a remote backend.

Tab cleanup only happens when the user explicitly clicks a cleanup action.

Who it is for

Quick Tab Cleaner may be useful if you:

often keep many tabs open
accidentally open the same page multiple times
want to reduce tab clutter without saving a session
prefer reviewing tabs before closing them
want a small utility instead of a full tab manager
work with documentation, dashboards, articles, issue trackers, or research pages

What is not included yet

Quick Tab Cleaner currently does not include:

automatic background cleanup
scheduled cleanup
saved cleanup rules
cloud sync
account login
AI tab grouping
analytics
billing
full browsing history scanning
page content collection

The current version stays focused on manual duplicate tab cleanup.

Korean Summary

Quick Tab Cleaner는 현재 열린 탭 중에서 같은 URL을 가진 중복 탭을 찾아 정리할 수 있는 작은 Chrome extension입니다. 자동으로 탭을 닫는 도구가 아니라, 사용자가 popup에서 중복 그룹을 확인한 뒤 직접 cleanup 버튼을 눌렀을 때만 동작합니다.

Tab Session Manager가 세션 저장/복원용이고, Copy Tab List가 탭 목록 복사용이라면, Quick Tab Cleaner는 중복 탭 정리에 집중한 유틸리티입니다. 방문 기록 전체 스캔, 백그라운드 감시, analytics, remote backend는 사용하지 않는 방향으로 설명하면 됩니다.

I Built Link Inbox, a Small Chrome Extension for Temporary Link Queues

레서드 — Fri, 29 May 2026 07:34:56 +0000

Short intro

I built Link Inbox, a small Chrome extension for saving the current tab into a lightweight link queue.

It is not meant to replace a full bookmarking system or a long-term research library. The idea is simpler: when I find a page I want to come back to later, I can save it quickly, keep it in an inbox, and process it when I have time.

Chrome Web Store: [LINK_INBOX_STORE_URL]

Product hub: https://ressurd.github.io/tools-and-products/

Problem

I often open pages that are useful, but not important enough to organize right away.

Some examples:

an article I want to read later
a documentation page I may need soon
a tool I want to try
a reference link for a project
a page I do not want to lose, but also do not want to bookmark permanently

Leaving those links as open tabs works for a while, but it eventually becomes messy. Bookmarks can feel too permanent. A full note-taking or clipping tool can be too much when I only need a temporary queue.

That is the gap Link Inbox is meant to cover.

What Link Inbox does

Link Inbox lets you save the current tab into a local inbox with one button.

From there, you can:

open saved links later
mark links as done
move done links back to the inbox
delete links you no longer need
search saved links by title or URL
export your saved links as JSON
import a JSON backup later

The extension saves a link only when you click Save current tab. It does not automatically collect links, scan browsing history, or read page content.

Main features

Save current tab

Click Save current tab to save the page you are currently viewing.

Saved records include basic link information such as title, URL, favicon URL, saved time, and status.

Inbox / Done states

Saved links start in the inbox.

When you finish with a link, you can mark it as done. Done links are kept separate so the inbox stays focused on links that still need attention.

You can also move a done link back to the inbox if needed.

Open and delete saved links

Each saved link can be opened again or deleted from the list.

This keeps the extension focused on a simple workflow: save, review, open, finish, or remove.

Search by title or URL

If your inbox grows, you can search saved links by title or URL.

Search works within the current view, so inbox links and done links stay easy to manage.

Duplicate URL skip

If the same URL is already saved, Link Inbox does not add another copy.

This helps keep the inbox from filling up with repeated links.

JSON export and import

Link Inbox supports JSON export and import for local backup.

Import uses a merge approach. If an imported URL already exists, it is skipped instead of replacing the full library.

Link Inbox vs bookmarks / WebClip

I think of Link Inbox as a temporary processing queue.

Bookmarks are better for links you already know you want to keep long term. Link Inbox is for links you have not decided what to do with yet.

I also build another extension called WebClip, which is more focused on saving pages with tags, notes, collections, and local backup. WebClip is closer to a structured personal library.

Link Inbox is intentionally lighter:

no tags
no notes
no collections
no long-term organization workflow

It is closer to a small “deal with this later” inbox for links.

Local-first/privacy note

Link Inbox stores saved links locally using chrome.storage.local.

The extension does not use cloud sync, analytics, advertising, or a remote backend. It does not scan your full browsing history and does not collect page content.

The current tab title, URL, and favicon URL are used for the popup preview and only saved when you click Save current tab.

JSON export and import are controlled by the user.

Who it is for

Link Inbox may be useful if you:

keep too many temporary tabs open
often save links “just in case”
want something lighter than bookmarks
want a simple read-it-later style queue
collect links while researching, coding, writing, or browsing
prefer local-only storage for small browser utilities

What is not included yet

Link Inbox currently does not include:

cloud sync
reminders
AI summaries
automatic link collection
full browsing history scanning
page content collection
account login
WebClip integration
team sharing
billing or subscriptions

The current version is focused on a small local inbox workflow.

Links

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/link-inbox/ldfpdmoinfcboflelikmbkkgoabfgpif
Product hub: https://ressurd.github.io/tools-and-products/

Korean Summary

Link Inbox는 현재 보고 있는 탭을 빠르게 저장해두고 나중에 처리할 수 있는 Chrome extension입니다. 북마크처럼 장기 보관하는 도구라기보다, 읽을 글이나 참고 링크를 임시로 넣어두는 가벼운 링크 큐에 가깝습니다.

저장된 링크는 Inbox / Done 상태로 관리할 수 있고, 제목이나 URL로 검색할 수 있으며, JSON 백업과 병합 import를 지원합니다. 데이터는 chrome.storage.local에 로컬로 저장되며, 사용자가 Save current tab을 누를 때만 저장됩니다.

I Built a Chrome Extension to Copy Open Tabs as Markdown, Plain Text, or URLs

레서드 — Thu, 28 May 2026 07:42:47 +0000

I often keep several tabs open while researching, writing, debugging, or collecting references.

Sometimes I do not want to save those tabs permanently. I just want to copy the current window’s tab list and paste it into a note, issue, document, message, or draft.

That is why I made Copy Tab List, a small Chrome extension focused on one simple task: copying the tabs open in the current Chrome window.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copy-tab-list/gechnfblecefhmdgfahpmeicdgmdoabn

Product hub: https://ressurd.github.io/tools-and-products/

The Problem

When you have several tabs open, sharing or documenting them can be annoying.

You may need to:

Send a list of references to someone
Paste research links into a note
Move browser tabs into a task or issue
Keep a quick record of what you were looking at
Copy just one tab title and URL without manually selecting both

Doing this manually means switching between tabs, copying titles, copying URLs, and formatting everything yourself.

Copy Tab List is meant to remove that small repeated task.

What Copy Tab List Does

Copy Tab List shows the tabs open in your current Chrome window and lets you copy them in a few simple formats.

The extension does not save tab data. It does not collect tabs in the background. It does not scan your browsing history.

It only reads the current window’s tab titles and URLs so it can show them in the popup and copy them when you click a copy button.

Main Features

Current features include:

View the current Chrome window’s tab list
Copy all tabs as Markdown
Copy all tabs as plain text
Copy all tab URLs only
Preview the copy output before copying
Switch the preview between Markdown, plain text, and URLs only
Copy a single tab from its row
Clipboard copy only happens after clicking a copy button

Example Output

Markdown output:

- [Example Page](https://example.com/)

Plain text output:

1. Example Page
https://example.com/

URLs-only output:

https://example.com/

Individual tab copy uses a simple plain text format:

Example Page
https://example.com/

Why I Built It This Way

I wanted this extension to stay small and focused.

There are already bookmark managers, session managers, read-it-later apps, and note-taking tools. Copy Tab List is not trying to replace those.

Instead, it is useful when you just want to move your current browser context somewhere else.

For example:

A Markdown note
A GitHub issue
A project document
A chat message
A research log
A task manager entry
A temporary draft

Sometimes the goal is not to save tabs forever. Sometimes the goal is just to copy the current context quickly and continue working.

Privacy and Local Behavior

Copy Tab List is intentionally simple.

It uses the tabs permission to read tab titles and URLs from the current Chrome window. This is needed to display the tab list and generate the copy output.

The extension does not request host permissions.

It does not:

Save tab lists
Store copied tab data
Scan full browsing history
Collect page content
Run background automatic collection
Use cloud sync
Use analytics
Use a remote backend
Use advertising

Clipboard writing happens only when you click a copy button in the popup.

Who It Is For

Copy Tab List may be useful if you:

Share research links often
Write notes from multiple open tabs
Prepare issue reports or documentation
Move browser context into a task manager
Want Markdown links without manually formatting them
Need a lightweight tool that does not save sessions or manage tabs

It is not meant to replace a bookmark manager, session manager, or read-it-later app.

It is just a small copy utility.

What Is Not Included Yet

The current version does not include:

All-window copy
Selected-tabs copy
Saved sessions
Saved presets
Cloud sync
Account login
Analytics
Background tab collection

The goal for now is to keep the extension focused:

Open the popup, review the current window tabs, copy what you need.

If you try Copy Tab List and have feedback, bug reports, or small feature ideas, I would be happy to hear what would make it more useful without making it too heavy.

Korean Summary

Copy Tab List는 현재 Chrome 창에 열려 있는 탭 목록을 Markdown, 일반 텍스트, URL 전용 형식으로 복사할 수 있는 작은 Chrome 확장입니다.

탭 데이터를 저장하지 않고, 전체 방문 기록을 스캔하지 않으며, 사용자가 popup에서 복사 버튼을 눌렀을 때만 클립보드 복사가 실행됩니다.

여러 탭을 문서, 메모, 이슈, 메시지 등에 빠르게 옮기고 싶을 때 사용할 수 있는 가벼운 도구입니다.

WebClip: A Local-First Chrome Extension for Saving Pages, Text, Tags, and Notes

레서드 — Sun, 17 May 2026 05:45:09 +0000

I built WebClip, a local-first Chrome extension for saving web pages and selected text with tags, notes, and lightweight organization tools. It is designed as a small bookmark alternative for people who want to capture useful pages quickly and find them again later.

It is not meant to replace a full note-taking app, read-it-later service, or team knowledge base. The goal is simpler: when I find a useful page or a small piece of text, I want to save it quickly, add a few details, and find it again later.

The Problem
While browsing, I often run into useful links, snippets, documentation pages, product references, or article sections that I do not want to lose.

Bookmarks are fine, but they can become messy quickly. Copying links into notes works, but it adds friction. Keeping everything open as tabs works for a while, until the browser becomes cluttered.

I wanted something smaller and more direct:

Save the current page
Save selected text from a page
Add tags and notes
Organize items without too much structure
Search and filter later
Keep the data local
That became WebClip.

What WebClip Does
WebClip lets you save pages and selected text from Chrome, then manage them in a local library.

You can save a page from the popup, save highlighted text, add a collection, tags, and a note, then browse everything later from the library view.

The extension is designed around simple personal retrieval. It is for collecting useful things while browsing, not for publishing, collaboration, automation, or analytics.

Main Features
Current WebClip features include:

Save the current page
Save selected text
Add tags
Add notes
Add a collection
Browse saved items in a library
Basic search
Filter saved items
Sort saved items
Pin important items
Archive items
Edit saved entries
Delete entries
Bulk archive/delete actions
Undo recent archive/delete actions
Export JSON backup
Import JSON backup
Store data locally with chrome.storage.local
Local-First and Privacy Note
WebClip is local-first.

Saved data is stored in the browser using chrome.storage.local. That can include saved page titles, URLs, selected text, tags, notes, collection values, and item state such as pinned or archived.

There is currently:

No cloud sync
No remote backend
No analytics
No AI feature
No subscription or paid feature gating
JSON export/import is included so users can back up or restore their own saved data manually.

Who It Is For
WebClip may be useful if you:

Save many useful links while researching
Want something lighter than a full note app
Often copy small text snippets from pages
Prefer tags, notes, and search over bookmark folders
Want a local-first browser tool
Like keeping useful references without keeping many tabs open
It is intentionally small. The current version focuses on saving and organizing useful web references without adding accounts or background collection.

What Is Not Included Yet
Some things are not included in the current version:

Cloud sync
Cross-device library
Advanced search operators
Smart collections
AI summaries
Team sharing
Subscriptions or paid Pro features
I may explore some future feature ideas later, but they are not part of the current WebClip build.

What I wish I had before submitting my first MV3 Chrome extension

레서드 — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:17:59 +0000

What I wish I had before submitting my first MV3 Chrome extension

While working on Chrome extensions, I ended up rewriting the same release-prep notes over and over again.

So I turned them into a small Chrome Extension Submission Pack for MV3.

It includes practical templates and checklists for things like:

store listing draft
privacy policy draft
screenshot capture checklist
release checklist
pre-upload audit checklist
reviewer notes template
permissions justification template

I also added a short free sample in the product description so the structure is easier to check before buying.

If you're preparing your first MV3 extension release, this may save some time:
