## Description

Tabs Import is a Chrome extension that enables users to easily open multiple URLs from a text file as new tabs in their browser. By adding a "Tabs Import" option to the main menu, it allows you to restore or load tab URLs saved in a text file seamlessly. Simply open the text file containing URLs in the browser and activate the import feature to create new tabs after the last open tab.

Originally migrated from the popular Firefox add-on Tabs Backup, this extension pairs with Tabs Export to manage your tab sessions efficiently. If no valid URLs are detected or an error occurs during the import, a notification will inform you instantly. Tabs Import is a helpful tool for users needing quick bulk tab restoration or management based on saved URL lists.
