Introducing a ‘Duplicate Tab’ feature in the Android version—especially optimized for tablets—would be a game‑changer for productivity. Tablet users often juggle multiple tasks, research, or cross‑referencing, and having the ability to instantly replicate a tab would eliminate repetitive steps and save valuable time. Instead of reopening or reconfiguring the same tab, users could seamlessly duplicate it with a single action. This small enhancement would deliver a big boost in efficiency, making the app more intuitive, user‑friendly, and perfectly aligned with the multitasking needs of modern Android tablet users.

@ExpLab just my own personal curiosity, when exactly would you need this? I haven’t encountered a situation where I need to duplicate the exact same tab I’m on. It just sounds incredibly niche overall and not something the vast majority of people would ever look for or need.

The main menu is overloaded with options and features, yet more than 70% of them are unnecessary for the majority of everyday users. They remain there, cluttering the experience without adding real value. Take a simple example: reading Notion notes. You often face endless pages, and in such cases, a duplicate tab becomes essential. Similarly, when working with LLM conversations, discussions can run so deep that you lose track—duplicating the tab is the only way to stay organized.

The use cases are endless, and power users absolutely rely on this functionality. That’s why the duplicate tab feature in desktop settings is such a smart implementation, especially when add-ons already exist. Even for those who don’t use it regularly, the option to toggle it on or off through the customized menu you recently introduced makes it flexible. And that customized menu, by the way, is one of the most useful features you’ve rolled out—it empowers users to tailor their workspace to their needs.

In short, duplicate tabs aren’t just a convenience; they’re a necessity for productivity and user satisfaction. Keeping this feature accessible ensures both casual and power users benefit from a smoother, more efficient experience.
