Open Selected Links
v1.8.4 Updated Mar 25, 2026 56.87KiB
✅Recently updated
Description
When viewing a page containing a list of links you want to open, such as a list of references in Wikipedia or a paper, it's convenient to be able to open them all at once rather than opening and dragging one at a time.
This extension adds context menus item for selections to open all the links contained in them in the current window (optionally in a new tab group) or a new window.
Alternatively, you can bring up the extension's popup menu to choose exactly which links to open (and now, you can also filter the link text with a regular expression!), whether to open them in the current or a new window, and whether to add them to a new or existing tab group. You can also open the tabs "snoozed" to reduce memory footprint prior to reading the tabs.
Finally, you can set up keyboard shortcuts to open selected links with a keystroke.
What's new in Version 1.8.4
* Fix opening links in a new window from the menu or command
What's new in Version 1.8.3
* Fix "automatically snooze tabs" option
What's new in Version 1.8.2
* Add side-by-side mode
* Multiple-display support
* Hamburger icon to hide/show the popup config options
* Filter enhancements
* Disallow inserting newlines.
* Don't crash if partially entered regexps are invalid
* Make the placeholder text come back on deleting all the text
* Make the filter URLs checkbox actually search both URL and link text
* Give the filter focus if any keys are pressed

Used to work fine, but now does nothing for me for some reason. It doesn't open any selected links even when they clearly show up in its UI that they will be opened.

Stopped working and I'm not sure why! Really liked this plugin before.

update 2024-04 : since last major chrome update, this addon doesn't work anymore at first try. for some reason it works at the second try: you have to launch the submenu "Open Selected Link-> Open Selected Link in a new window" two times, the first one in ineffective, the second time it works
