About SmartURLs - Copy and Open URLs

SmartURLs is a simple and powerful Chrome extension that makes it easy to copy, organize, and open multiple URLs in one click. 🚀 What It Does SmartURLs lets you copy all open tab URLs at once — or open many URLs from text or your clipboard. It’s designed to help people who frequently handle multiple web pages, such as researchers, writers, developers, or anyone who needs to manage lots of links quickly. ✨ Key Features • Copy URLs in multiple formats — Markdown, HTML, TSV, JSON, or custom templates • Include page titles for better readability • Select the scope — current window or all windows • Filter options — remove duplicates, URL protocol restrictions, skip pinned tabs, or exclude patterns • Open from clipboard or text — SmartURLs automatically detects and opens valid links • Dark/Light themes — match your browser theme instantly • Multilingual support — 16 languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and more) • Privacy first — no data collected, all processing is done locally in your browser 🆕 New in v1.3.0 • Added keyboard shortcuts for faster operations  - Copy URLs: Ctrl + Shift + U  - Open URLs: Ctrl + Shift + V • Shortcuts can be customized at chrome://extensions/shortcuts 🆕 New in v1.4.0 • Enhanced custom templates with new placeholders and URL-based logic  - $title(html): HTML-escaped page title for safe HTML output  - $nl: New line token for better formatting control  - $basename: Extracts the last path segment from a URL  - Query parameter tokens (e.g. $v, $t) with conditional blocks for parameter-based output • New custom templates documentation: https://isshiki.github.io/SmartURLs/custom-templates.en 🆕 New in v1.5.0 • Protocol restrictions for both Copy and Open actions  - Control which URL schemes are allowed (https, http, file, chrome, etc.)  - Clear status feedback showing skipped or failed URLs by protocol • Improved safety and transparency when handling non-HTTP URLs 🆕 New in v1.6.0 • Added additional copy formats for the current tab  - Two independent formats with dedicated shortcuts  - Format 1: Ctrl + Shift + Y  - Format 2: Alt + Shift + Y • Optional extra copy buttons in the popup (can be disabled) • You can now save up to two custom templates for both Copy and Open 🆕 New in v1.7.0 • Added support for opening file:// URLs • Improved Smart detection for symbols and punctuation at the end of URLs 🆕 New in v1.8.0 • Added an option to open URL lists in reverse order 🆕 New in v1.9.0 • Added SmartURLs actions to the right-click menu  - Copy or open links in the selected area  - Copy or open URLs found in selected text • Improved Smart URL detection 💡 Why You’ll Love It SmartURLs saves you time and clicks.

It’s perfect for: • Researching topics and organizing sources • Sharing groups of links with colleagues • Reopening your previous browsing sessions • Managing lists of URLs for development or testing ⚙️ Customization SmartURLs lets you customize how links are copied and opened: • Choose between Markdown, HTML, TSV, JSON, or your own custom format • Select light, dark, or system theme • Automatically save your preferences in Chrome Storage 🔒 Privacy & Security SmartURLs runs entirely within your browser.
