## Description

Simple URL Extractor adds a right-click action to parse selected text and detect URLs. If one URL is found, it opens immediately in a new tab. If two URLs are found, an in-page mini picker appears so you can choose one (or open both) without leaving the current page. If multiple URLs are found, a compact list window is shown for quick selection.

You can optionally define start and end markers from the extension popup for more precise extraction in structured text.

No account, no server, no tracking.
