OpenList helps you manage lists of URLs. It's useful if you have a habit of emailing yourself lists of articles or pages to check out later.
- Select a list of URLs (or search terms) in any web page or textarea, then open them all in new tabs
- Paste a list of URLs (or search terms) into a popup, then open them all in new tabs
- Get a list of all tabs in the current window
- Automatically converts non-URL text into Google searches
- Enforces HTTPS for security
- Dark mode support
