Extension summary

Easily add commonly used URL prefixes and open tabs from selected text.

Instructions:

  1. Add your commonly used URL prefix (eg. "http://m.mlb.com/player/")
  2. Select text on a webpage to build a new URL (eg. "605141")
  3. After selecting the text, right click and select the prefix
  4. You'll see the newly constructed URL open in a new tab (eg. "http://m.mlb.com/player/605141")

Extra:

  1. If you select text that has whitespaces, you can open multiple tabs at once (eg. "605141 660271")
  2. Adding a blank URL prefix will enable you to open new tabs without any prefixes. This may come in handy if you select a couple of URLs and want to open all of them in separate tabs in one click.
  3. Use "{}" as a placeholder. If a url contains "{}", the "{}" portion will be replaced instead of the text being appended to the end

User reviews

This extension is an amazing lifesaver for gmail. It easily allows me to double click things such as order IDs and then route the information into a customizable url search to pull the record. THANK YOU! Can you please consider making a version for microsoft outlook?
