App Description
Salesforce Tab Merger keeps your browser tidy by automatically reusing one Salesforce tab instead of opening duplicate tabs across your workspace.
When a Salesforce page opens in a new tab, the extension detects whether you already have a Salesforce tab open for the same domain. If so, it opens the new Salesforce page in the existing tab, focuses that tab, and closes the duplicate. It can also merge Salesforce tabs across browser windows and handle pinned tabs depending on your settings.
The extension runs locally in Chrome. It does not read Salesforce page content, collect user data, or send tab information to any external service.
Settings Guide
Merge automatically
When enabled, the extension works in the background. If a new Salesforce tab opens or refreshes and matches an existing Salesforce tab, the extension moves the new page into the existing tab and closes the duplicate.
Leave this on if you want the extension to work without clicking the toolbar icon.
Allow pinned tabs to close
When enabled, pinned Salesforce tabs can be closed if they are the duplicate tab.
Leave this on if you want the extension to manage all Salesforce tabs, including pinned ones. Turn it off if you use a pinned Salesforce tab as a permanent anchor that should never be closed.
Merge across windows
When enabled, the extension checks Salesforce tabs across all Chrome windows.
Leave this on if you use multiple browser windows and still want only one Salesforce tab per matching rule. Turn it off if each Chrome window should manage its own Salesforce tab separately.
Duplicate matching mode
Same Salesforce domain
Treats any tabs on the same Salesforce domain as duplicates.
Example:
company.lightning.force.com/contact-page
Best if you want one Salesforce tab reused for everything in the same org.
Salesforce record or normalized URL
First checks whether two tabs point to the same Salesforce record. If no record ID is found, it compares the cleaned-up URL.
Best if you want to allow multiple Salesforce tabs, but avoid duplicates of the same record or page.
Normalized URL only
Compares cleaned-up URLs only. The extension removes noisy parameters such as tracking or workspace parameters before comparing.
Best if you only want tabs merged when they are effectively the same Salesforce page.
Salesforce hosts
A list of domains the extension should manage.
Default examples include:
lightning.force.com
Your Salesforce org domain, such as:
yourcompany.lightning.force.com
is covered by lightning.force.com.
You can add other domains if you want the same behavior for another web app.
Ignored URL parameters
These are URL parameters the extension ignores when comparing normalized URLs.
For example, Salesforce may add temporary workspace or tracking parameters. Ignoring those helps the extension recognize that two URLs are really the same page.
