Browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that opens a list of URLs and additionally extracts URLs from text.
Install the extension via Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
There should be an icon in the browser's toolbar. Chrome hides extension icons by default, so you have to "pin" it to the toolbar. Click the "Extensions" button in the toolbar to do that. Then click on the extension's icon, enter URLs and click the "open" button.
The project is written in Vue.js using TypeScript, utilizes Vite for bundling, Vitest for testing, ESLint for linting and Prettier for formatting. It requires Node Version >= 18 to build.
Due to incompatible manifest.json definitions, there are separate builds for Firefox and Chrome.
First: Install packages via npm install.
Then use one of the following build commands:
| Command | Description | Output dir |
|---|---|---|
npm run dev:firefox | live build (watch-mode) for Firefox | dist-firefox |
npm run dev:chrome | live build (watch-mode) for Chrome | dist-chrome |
npm run build:firefox | production build for Firefox | dist-firefox |
npm run build:chrome | production build for Chrome | dist-chrome |
npm run build:all | production build for all browsers | dist-firefoxdist-chrome |
npm run package:firefox | package for Firefox | dist-package |
npm run package:chrome | package for Chrome | dist-package |
npm run package:all | package for all browsers | dist-package |
