Close duplicate tabs

Sometimes, I open too many links, many of which are same as already opened ones.

So I want to be able to close duplicate tabs.

IMHO it'd be better if Orion helped you avoid opening duplicate tabs in the first place — at least for pages with the same URL (and therefore no URL parameters that can change) it'd be better if you were taken to the already open instance of said URL.

Pretty sure that's what Safari and Firefox try to do.

As an extreme example a colleague in work using Chrome had re-opened so many instances of the same Confluence page for editing that they overloaded the Confluence editor — no-one else could edit the page until they closed (a lot!) of tabs.

The ability to switch to an open tab from the address bar is discussed here: https://orionfeedback.org/d/1831-add-a-command-palette/12

@Vlad I don't know when it was added, but Brave now has this feature.

The option is disabled, since it works only for duplicates of present tab. So, a user would have to go to each tab and use that option to remove duplicates.

Orion, on the other hand, can choose to close all duplicates.
