## Review summary

Open Multiple URLs is widely praised for reliability and usefulness, especially for batch opening and its compatibility with other add-ons. Users appreciate quick results and the ability to preserve inputs. Common requests focus on adding a delay between openings to prevent site limits and on saving URL lists locally. Some users caution about potential tab data loss when disabling the extension. Overall, strong positive reception with clear feature improvements desired (delay, save functionality).

### Pros

- Very useful and reliable for opening multiple URLs.
- Works well with other extensions (e.g., Load Background Tabs Lazily, Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard).
- Preserves inputs with its options, aiding repeat runs.
- Speeds up opening many URLs, acting as a time saver.

### Cons

- No built-in save feature: URLs entered are not saved and there is no save button.
- Lacks a delay between opening URLs: all links open at once, which can trigger site limits or bans.
- Risk of tab data loss if certain settings are used or the extension is disabled (e.g., unopened tabs can be deleted when the extension is turned off).
- Opening many URLs at once can cause loading issues on some sites without a delay feature.
