Prevent Duplicate Tabs - Edge Add-on to Keep Browser Clean
"Prevent Duplicate Tabs" is an Edge add-on that stops the browser from creating or repeating duplicate tabs of the same addresses. This extension allows you to manage which events trigger the closing of repeated tabs and whether or not querystrings and hashes in URLs are considering factors. It provides an option to specify exceptions and effectively works in both normal and incognito modes. The process is automatic, but it provides quick enable/disable options for user flexibility.

User reviews
While I like the concept there were basically two major drawbacks that forced me to uninstall the extension.
First and foremost was that it would occasionally erroneously prevent tabs that were clearly not duplicates from opening requiring me to disable it in order to access sites. Second as somebody else mentioned the tab must fully load before it then closes, so the saving of resources is actually quite minimal if any.

The default option is that it closes existing tabs which means you loose input data you have made in a existing tab to get a new tab. Does not make sense.
If you disable that, it prevents opening another tab, but it does not jump to the existing tab. So with many tabs, you only know it is already opened but not where and have to jump manually again.
