How to use the bulk URL opener
- 1Paste your links into URLs (one per line). Bare domains get https:// added.
- 2Choose Tabs per click: 5, 10, 20 or All at once.
- 3Press Open first 10, then Open next 10 until the list is done.
- 4If tabs are blocked, allow pop-ups for this site and press Start again, or click the blocked links in Links.

Allowing pop-ups
Browsers block pages from opening several tabs from one click, to stop pop-up spam. The first tab usually opens; the rest are blocked unless you allow pop-ups for this site:
- Chrome and Edge: click the blocked pop-up icon at the right of the address bar, choose Always allow pop-ups and redirects, then Done.
- Firefox: in the yellow bar, choose Options and Allow pop-ups for this site.
- Safari (Mac): Safari → Settings for This Website → Pop-up Windows → Allow.
The tool detects each blocked tab and marks it Blocked, so you know exactly which links still need opening.
Delay and batch size
There's no timed delay between tabs: browsers count a tab opened after a delay as a pop-up with no click behind it and block it even more readily. Instead, each click opens a batch. Tabs per click sets how many: 10 is a comfortable number to review before moving on, and All at once opens the whole list.
Opening dozens of heavy pages together can slow your computer, because every tab loads at the same time. Smaller batches also make it easier to keep track of where you are.
Cleaning the list
Before anything opens, the list is tidied up:
- One URL per line; spaces or commas between URLs on the same line also work.
example.orgbecomeshttps://example.org/.- Exact duplicates are removed, keeping the first.
- Lines that aren't web addresses, and links that aren't http or https (such as
ftp:orjavascript:), are skipped and listed.
To check where links lead without opening them, use the HTTP status checker instead.
Browser limits on tabs
There's no fixed limit on the list, but each open tab uses memory: around 100–300 MB for a typical modern page. Twenty tabs is fine on most computers; a few hundred will slow most machines. Browsers may also put background tabs to sleep and reload them when you switch to them.
On phones, most browsers open only one tab per tap whatever the settings, and tab limits are lower. The Links list works as a tap-through list instead.
