A browser addon / extension that provides the user with lots of features to handle lists of urls.
A simple and easy to use extension which allows the user to open a list of URL's in one click. Or alternatively you can create and store lists of links that you use and then load them from the drop down menu in the extension to open large amounts of links quickly and easily.
Key Features:-
-Allows a user to open a list of links quickly and easily
-Ability to save, load and edit lists of links to provide an easier way to store and use a large amount of links
-Tab Creation Delay: A user requested feature that allows the user to set a specified delay (in seconds) between each tab being created when a large number of links are opened
-Custom themes: Change the look of the extension by using a different theme
PERMISSIONS REQUIRED:-
"Read your browsing history":
This permission allows the extension to create tabs for you. It also allows the extension to get the URL's from currently open tabs when the 'Get list of currently open tabs' button is clicked
"Storage":
This permission allows the extension to store the lists you have created in your browsers local storage.
