When several marketplaces list a plugin that comes from the same source, the plugin browser now shows it once. The merged entry says \"Also listed in\" followed by the other marketplace and the name used there.\n\nAlso:\n\n- Copies of a plugin you have already installed are left out.\n\n- Entries that come from a plugin directory are marked as such.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe plugin list in `\/plugin` has fewer duplicates, so it is easier to see what is actually different.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
