Easy Open Link

Open links without cumbersome copy & paste!

▶

Easy Open Link is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline how you open links from text documents. Instead of the traditional cumbersome copy and paste, this tool lets you roughly select one or multiple URLs—even if mixed with extra text—then open them directly via the share function. Simply select your URLs, press the share icon, and choose "open link" to quickly launch your desired web pages.

This lightweight, ad-free, and open-source extension doesn't add clutter to your launcher; its full functionality is accessed through the share menu. It even supports checking if browsers capable of opening links in incognito mode are installed, enhancing your browsing privacy options. Easy Open Link ensures a smooth, efficient, and privacy-conscious experience for managing URLs within your workflow.
