Paste any text containing URLs into Tab Bandit and it opens every link instantly. It automatically detects URLs even if they're mixed with other text, strips tracking parameters (like utm_source), and removes duplicates before opening.

How to Use

1. Copy text containing URLs to your clipboard (from Slack, email, a doc- anywhere).

   

2. Click the Tab Bandit icon to open the Pop Up.

3. Click Open URLs from Clipboard.

   

4. Tab Bandit scans your clipboard, extracts all valid URLs, removes duplicates and tracking junk, and opens them as new tabs.

<aside> 💡

Performance tip: If opening many URLs freezes your machine, go to Settings → URL Opening and select "Open fast, load later." This creates the tabs but doesn't load the pages until you click on them.

Shortcut:

Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) +  O (Pop Up should be open)

Customize Paste Behavior on Settings

You can control how Tab Bandit handles incoming URLs when you paste and open them. Go to Copy/Paste Behavior to configure.
