We’ve all been in scenarios where there are multiple links on a webpage, and we have to open every single one. This scenario is very common when doing a web search; slicking every link and opening it in a new tab can be time-consuming. But what if you can automatically select all the links and open them in separate new tabs? Well, you can. This article will tell you how to open or copy multiple links simultaneously in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
Open or Copy Multiple Links at once in Chrome and Firefox
In this section, we will learn about some browser extensions that allow you to select and open multiple links simultaneously in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. Here’s all that’s covered:
- LinkClump for Edge and Chrome
- Snap Links Plus for Firefox
Let’s dive in!
1] Linkclump for Edge and Chrome
LinkClump is a popular Edge and Chrome browser extension that allows you to select multiple links at once and open them automatically in new tabs. All you have to do is press the hotkey+mouse click combination and create a selection around the links, and the links will automatically open in the new tab.
The extension works flawlessly and is not limited to opening links. You can perform other actions such as opening a new window, bookmarking, or copying to the clipboard. In addition, you can set custom filters for the links or create multiple actions with separate hotkeys.
What we like about this extension is the vast customizability; you can create separate hotkeys for separate actions and even apply filters. This is a must-have for anyone working with multiple links and searches. Here’s how to use the extension:
- Download and install LinkClump from the Chrome Web Store on Edge and Chrome.
- Once the extension is installed, the default hotkey will be set to the Z+Left mouse button.
- To use the extension, go to a webpage with multiple links, press and hold the Z key, press the left mouse button, and create a selection around the links.
- Leave the mouse button, and the links will automatically open in new tabs.
- To modify the actions, create new ones, apply filters, and customize hot keys, right-click the extension icon in the top bar and open Options.
2] Snap Links Plus for Firefox
Snap Links Plus is a Firefox add-on that allows you to open multiple links in one go. By default, you can draw rectangles using the right button of your mouse (you can change this if you want), and all the tabs will open as soon as you release the right button. You get the options below if you click the left mouse button (without leaving the right button).
These options can be used to copy URLs and Titles of each link. Also, you can directly download or bookmark them for future use. While the extension is excellent, the customizability is not as good as the LinkClump extension for Chrome and Edge. Here’s how to use Snap Links Plus for Firefox:
- Download and Install Snap Links Plus for Firefox.
- Once the extension is installed, the default hotkey is the right mouse button. Press and drag it around the links to create a selection.
- Just release the mouse button, and the links will automatically open in new tabs.
- Click the settings icon next to Extension to change settings, hotkeys, and actions.
