User Reviews

Overall, users praise reliability, ease of use, and the core feature of opening highlighted links in new tabs via the context menu. It's lightweight and handy for certain workflows. Several feature requests (deduplication, filtering, clipboard support) appear, but no widespread major issues are reported.

Pros

Reliable and faultless operation (does what it promises).
Opens highlighted/selected links in new tabs next to the current page.
Accessible via the context menu for quick use.
Lightweight, with a tiny footprint.
Useful for specific workflows (e.g., opening links from a local HTML/pinned page) and supports a configurable interval.

Cons

Recent reviews

I use a pinned links page that I open from a local HTML file, so this add-on is incredibly useful in that kind of setup. Thank you so much for creating it.

Is Open Links in Tabs Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open Links in Tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
