About Lobster

🦞 Lobster Link Opener - A Simple Tab Session Saver and Restorer or simply **_Lobster_** (**L**ink **O**pener **B**rowser **S**ave **T**ab **E**xtension **R**evisited) A simple, privacy-friendly tool to save and reopen browser sessions – with tab groups support on Chrome and Firefox. ✅ Features - Export all open tabs to a `.txt` file - Open links from a `.txt` file - Export and import tab groups via `.json` - Dark mode toggle - Minimal UI Created because I have way too many tabs, wanted more control over sessions, and always wanted to build a browser extension. 🖥️ Why Not Use Built-In Sync Options? This extension shines in scenarios like: - Using **incognito** or privacy-focused browsers - Working across devices **without login/sync** - Wanting to **save specific tab groups** as named presets - Creating **backups** of your browsing sessions - Avoiding reliance on `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T` or browser restore About Built for fun, function, and out of a bit of tab-hoarding desperation.
