Save a link to the current tab Firefox

Save a link to the current tab

Generates an HTML stub file that links to the current tab.

Features & Capabilities

The "Save a Link to the Current Tab" Chrome extension allows users to generate an HTML stub file linking directly to the active browser tab's URL. Unlike traditional shortcuts such as .URL, .webloc, or .desktop files which are OS-specific, this extension creates a universally compatible .link.html file. This ensures seamless use across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and multiple browsers.

By clicking the "Save a link" button, you can download and store lightweight HTML links that function as bookmarks saved individually on your local disk, without saving the entire webpage. This makes it easy to organize and access frequently visited sites without relying on browser bookmarks or OS shortcuts. For more details and source code, visit the project's GitHub repository.

Is Save a link to the current tab 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.

Save a link to the current tab requires very minimum permissions.
