Portfolious

I recently decided to get rid of my Fluid instances of websites like Gmail and Remember the Milk. The primary reason I used them like stand alone apps was because I could quickly switch between them using my app launcher of choice, Quicksilver. However, now that I’m using Chrome for these sites there was no way to quickly access them without cycling through a bunch of tabs.

Enter the Chrome Duplicate Tab Detector extension. This extension will open the tab of the site you’re trying to access if it is already present. There was one hitch with the current functionality which was that the url of the existing tab and the one you were opening had to match exactly. This wouldn’t work for sites like Gmail that append parameters to the url when changing folders or composing mail.

So I forked the code, made the small change to fix this, and made it available here:

Thanks to mbhutton for creating the original chrome extension.
