Hacker News Duplicate Detector

Hacker News Duplicate Detector (HNDD) is a Google Chrome extension that automatically detects duplicate Hacker News (HN) submissions.

It is available from the Google Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-duplicate-det/ocagpmnfhgbgmbaaimpehpbnnplkmpkd

To use HNDD, install the extension, and it will work automatically on relevant HN pages.
