How to open multiple URLs at once in Chrome, Edge and Firefox

Browsers don’t have a “paste a list of links” button, but there are several quick ways to open many URLs at once. The fastest is an online bulk URL opener: paste your list, click once, and every link opens in its own tab.

Method 1: Use a bulk URL opener (fastest)

1. Copy your links — from Excel, Google Sheets, Notepad, an email or anywhere else.
2. Paste them into Open Multiple URLs. It finds every web address, even in messy text, removes duplicates and adds any missing https://.
3. Click Open links.

This works the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Brave, and nothing is installed.

Only one tab opened?

Browsers let a website open just one new tab per click unless you allow pop-ups for it. In Chrome and Edge, click the blocked pop-up icon at the right of the address bar, choose Always allow pop-ups and redirects from the site, then click Open links again. In Firefox, click Options in the yellow bar and allow pop-ups. You only need to do this once. If you’d rather not, choose “5 at a time” and click once per batch.

Method 2: Put the links in a bookmarks folder

Handy for a set of links you open every day:

1. Create a bookmarks folder and add each link to it.
2. Right-click the folder in the bookmarks bar.
3. Choose Open all (Chrome and Edge) or Open All in Tabs (Firefox).

Method 3: Open a set of pages when the browser starts

In Chrome, go to Settings → On start-up → Open a specific page or set of pages and add your links. Edge has the same option under Settings → Start, home and new tab page. In Firefox you can set several home pages by separating them with a vertical bar (|) in Settings → Home.

Method 4: From the command line (for power users)

You can pass several URLs to the browser in one command, for example on Windows:

start chrome "https://example.com" "https://example.org"

This is useful in scripts, but for day-to-day use Method 1 is quicker.

Opening links from Excel or Google Sheets

Select the column of links, copy it, and paste it straight into Open Multiple URLs. Each cell becomes a line, so every link is picked up — no formulas or macros needed.

Tips for opening lots of tabs

• Opening 50+ tabs at once can slow your computer; batches of 10–20 are more comfortable.
• Use “Open in reverse order” if you want the first link to end up in the right-most tab.
• Keep your list on the page — it’s remembered in your browser if you reload.
