## Description

**tabs2txt** is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline how you manage your browser tabs' URLs. With a simple button, you can copy the URLs of all active tabs in your current window into a scratchpad, where they're neatly separated by newlines for easy reading and editing. The scratchpad supports in-place editing, so you can modify the list of URLs as needed.

Once you've curated your list, tabs2txt lets you quickly copy the entire list to your clipboard for sharing or later use. You can also reverse the process with the built-in txt2tabs functionality, reopening the scratchpad's URLs as new tabs in your browser. This extension is perfect for users who need efficient tab URL management, sharing, or offline editing without hassle.
