Question

I'm after an extension for chrome on Linux that allows me to have a mouse gesture for duplicating a tab. Additional gestures would be nice but that is the one I really need.

I used to have Smooth Gestures installed until it started spewing adds at me. I also saw "Gestures for Google Chrome" but the reviews say both that it doesn't work on Linux and that it too is adware.

I know of Mouse Stroke but the reviews indicate that it no longer works.

I've also seen CrxMouse but this one actually collects my IP and browsing history and shares/sells it! They even say so blatantly in their "privacy" policy:

We may collect results of your browsing preferences and habits, we collect information regarding your use of Our addon including URLs and Statistical Information of extensions you may be browsing while Our addon is installed. Our addon continuously and automatically transfers such information to our systems and is being collected in an aggregated manner.

[...]

Our addon may collect IP addresses...

My needs are simple:

It must work on Chrome for Linux
It must let me duplicate a tab with a simple mouse gesture
It must not collect my data or serve me with ads

Is there such an addon?

Explanation / Answer

You don't need an extension at all for this.

Just middle click the mouse button on the refresh icon in the browser, it will open a duplicate tab for you.

If you want to do that using keyboard you can go with ALT+D & ALT+ENTER or CTRL+L & ALT+ENTER or F6 & ALT+ENTER.
