Reviews & Comments of TabCopy chrome extension

It does what it says it will do in the most intuitive way I can think of. And no hints of monetization.

This is an incredibly useful extension that is much better than the other other tab copy extensions that are available. The only thing that could make it better would be the ability to bind a specific keyboard shortcut to each format.

An extension that just works! This is it! Does exactly what is says it will do. Gotta love it!

I used all other "tab copy" extensions until I finally found this one. The killer feature in this extension IMO is that you can define your own output format. I configure one to use with Org-Mode in less than 5 min. Gotta love this ext.

The best!

Clean and brilliant ext.

Works as described, lifesaver.

Simple, customizable, useful. It's everything I need for sharing/storing webpages and still being able to identify what the link was about.

Really useful! Have been using for a while, but recently discovered the "Custom" format option in the extension settings. In case helpful inspiration for anyone, here's mine currently : Format: Custom Name : [My Format] List Start: Date Links Accessed: [date][n][n] Tab: [#]. [link] Tab Delimiter: [n] List End: [n][n]Use case for links: – which outputs like this : Date Links Accessed: 12/11/2022 1. Example 1 2. Example 2 3. Example 3 Use case for links: Then you'd populate the use case/context for the list of hyperlinks ex-post-facto. Thanks TabCopy team!

Very useful, why I get to know this extension today. Thanks.

amazing! just what i needed to help keep my tab number down. i don't like closing tabs that i haven't saved even if i realistically won't need it in the future so i used to just copy the link of each tab i wanted to close and dump it into a google doc, now i can get rid of my tabs guilt free and in under 30 seconds!

I love the extension. It's simple and works really well for my use case. Thank you!

Best option out there. It may not copy exactly how you want, but it does the tick better than competitors!

Great extension. Didn't like the default expanded layout, thought I'm stuck with that, only to see that they have not only provided the regular CSV layout, but at least 6-7 other layouts, along with the option to keep 3 layouts as shortcuts in the popover. Always read the manual kids! Delightful piece of software!

This is great!

I wrote this bookmarklet: javascript:var d=new Date();text=d.getFullYear()+'-'+String((d.getMonth()+1)).padStart(2, '0')+'-'+String(d.getDate()).padStart(2, '0')+' '+String(d.getHours()).padStart(2,'0')+':'+String(d.getMinutes()).padStart(2,'0')+':'+String(d.getSeconds()).padStart(2, '0')+'\t' +location.href+'\t'+document.title;!function(a){var b=document.createElement("textarea"),c=document.getSelection();b.textContent=a,document.body.appendChild(b),c.removeAllRanges(),b.select(),document.execCommand("copy"),c.removeAllRanges(),document.body.removeChild(b)}(text); attempting to do what this wonderful extension does. I'm so glad I have an amazing tool to track the sites I go to. Thank you!

Great Extension, great for researching and capturing links/anchor. Would be nice to have more formats under options. Direct to disk feature plus a marker or category feature. Eventually I'll post one of my databases where the links are inserted into SQL Server, MS Access or any DB.

TabCopy is an improvement over an alternative extension I have been using. This provides more flexibility in terms of being able to copy only the tabs I want to copy (selected tabs) Not just all or none. The addittional capability to beable to copy URLs with titles or just a compact version is also very convenient. Thank you for creating this extension. I can easily recommend it to others to use.

What a timesaver! I typically have dozens of tabs open but periodically prune and close them to clean things up and I had been manually saving links to a text document in case I needed to refer back to them for a specific project. Bookmarks get too cluttered to be useful sometimes so I've found grepping my links files is really easy to find something of interest but the manual process of copying/pasting links is time consuming. Now I can do it with a single click! OMG the time this is going to save me. Amazing tool - thank you!

Customizability is awesome! Love the ALT+C (1, 2, 3 times) for different copies. Will be using in my own apps :) Great improvement to my daily Obsidian workflow. ?

It does indeed put a list of all of the tabs in all of the windows into the copy buffer. However it completely loses the structure of what tabs were grouped into what windows. I need to retain that structure. There could be output options to JSON or HTML to preserve that structure.

Pros: 1. Pertains focus at scale for otherwise mindnumbing copy-paste operations. 2. Operable with both mouse and keyboard. 3. For those with habit to keep 1-1 window-session (or window-project, window-intent), TabCopy makes good local backup (or alternative) for browser-based tab session managers. 4. Customizable format makes easier to keep track in Personal Knowledge Bases (like Obsidian.md)

I use this daily. Works great.

Exactly what I wanted and even more. Amazing.

Perfect. In "link" mode is does the same Edge does :)

Simply powerful. I will surely donate to the cause. Thank you for building this!

Just amazing!!!

It works nicely, but 3 stars, because there is no option to sync across browsers, since I use different browsers at one time, I would like to be able to copy a list of tabs over to the other browser and open these links. I cannot do that with this.

Options not saved! ((( After browser restarts the are reset to dafaults ((((

Thank the lord someone built this, and it works really well. Made a donation.

Awesome extension ! Very useful

Good for what it offers, but evidently no Chromium-based browsers allow a right click copy URL on any tab, but only on the one that is open. However, this extension does not even provide that, thus requiring one to find the icon in the toolbar, which is not as efficient.

Shortcut for activating the tool on three cases are not available on vivaldi

super handy

This is perfect! I wish I had found this years ago. It would have saved me hours of work.

It works on my machine~!

Awesome! Works perfectly with OneNote. I've been used to Edge's feature, copy link and paste it as title with URL embedded, and now I can use it on Chrome! Thank you!

amazing!

Great tool

I like this plugin.

Great, thank you!

Excellent!!!!

best extension i have ever used

Elegant, flexible, easy-to-use You can actually choose from many clipboard formats rapidly! Shows the grace of intelligent design. Chrome should have this built-in for everyone, but at least there's a great solution available.

This is incredible. Really does what it says on the tin. You can change the format to get it copying exactly how you want

Very simple, very flexible - well designed

This is a very nice extension and copies URLs from tabs to clipboard with many different options easily configurable by the user but Im amazed nobody has pointed a fundamental flaw: this extension lacks the option to do exactly the opposite task, this extension cannot open new tabs in Chrome from a list of URLs stored in the clipboard... Im sorry but I wont use this extension because I find it is severely crippled without that function.

simply AMAZING. makes making a list of tabs so easy

amajing tul tu lif in brwser. tengkyu berimac dir brade/siste

Thoughtfully designed. Works great for inserting links into my Roam Research pages.

Works Well

Does what I need from it. This is a big time discovery for my line of work!

nice

Amazing extension with a an excellent options/setup page. My only wish is that we could save more than one custom format. It would be nice to save several custom formats, and then just choose which three you want to be in use at any time.

I really find this useful, I use Tabcopy at work and for other uses every day I use my laptop. I was able to get it on the Brave browser as well, so that's neat. The only thing that stinks is I can't find any way to get this extension to work on my Android phone, neither on Chrome or Brave. If anyone knows how to get this extension to work on an Android (Samsung) phone, please let me know.

Great extension, very easy to use and has all the useful formats. One minor caveat: the default shortcut on Mac seems to be Option-C, which is also the system shortcut for the cedil character (Ç) - so my ç had stopped working until I changed the extension's shortcut.

I love this extension! I download a lot of YouTube videos for later viewing and TabCopy makes it so easy for me to do that. Works every time!!

Exactly what I've been looking for! I've wanted a simple way to get a text list of my open tabs for a very long time, so was very pleased to find this. I often have a lot of tabs open and wanted to be able to copy and paste urls related to a particular project into places like my todo list or Evernote for future reference, so that I can then close those tabs and easily access them again when I need to, instead of leaving them open, or having to save them in a separate app like a bookmark manager (I need to be able to save them with other tasks & reference material so everything is in the same place!).

What a great tool - it saves me a bunch of time, especially when combined with the openlist extension!

was great but not sure its working now. keep getting chrome-extension://klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html#ttl before urls.

One of my most-used widgets, until it stopped working. Got any advice on how to fix it?

The customizability is simple and just perfect beyond words! Amazing for developers. Thank you so much!

Making it simple is an art.

I don't usually leave reviews - good or bad - but this extension definitely deserves one, so here goes nothing: Extremely useful, time-saving and easy to use extension. None of the pre-formatted options did what I wanted it to do, which was to copy the title and the URL in two side-by-side cells in Excel or Google Sheets. I was afraid to lose too much time trying to learn how to make my custom format so I went and spent 30 minutes making a sloppy workaround using formulas in Google Sheets (I'm not a pro at it, obviously) and after I got that to work, I decided to try my luck with the customization. It took me less than a minute to figure out the mechanics of the controls and 10 seconds to configure it to do what I wanted. Extremely simple and powerful, Five stars all the way.

this thing is fantastic

This extension is great. It's extremely easy to use, quick, and comes with a large amount of customizability while still being simple. One feature I would love would be the ability to change whether the hotkey [alt+c] copies the current tab or all of the open tabs.

Very, very good for what it does. However, it only gets four stars as it misses some key features: 1) There's no way to PASTE a list of links in 2) There's no way to get only URLs, nothing else (unless you use the one custom format slot). Which means I have to have a second extension to handle those two. If these were instead part of this extension, it would be pretty near perfect.

Does exactly what I want - let's me quickly share *descriptive* links to the pages I am viewing as rich text (for applications like MS Word), as Markdown notation (for README.md), or as custom (in my case for Atlassian JIRA). I've asked many of my colleagues to start using it, so they can stop using opaque links to our bug tracker which just has a number in the URL, and instead use descriptive links to it. It's the difference between "jira.company.com/browse/FOO-123" and "[FOO-123] Error message is not alarming enough to cause user to act"

Saved me half an hour of work. God-send.

I expected the "link" function to give just the URL's of the tabs, but i was instead given the title of each tab. I could not find a way to extract only the URL's without extra information being added, which did not fix the problem that i hoped for this to solve.

Great extension! Would love additional capabilities like regex to delete repeating character patterns from site titles!

Great job! superclean and works better than copy all urls, which does not past clean "link" version

Works very well and it can even be customized. 10/10 would recommend

Thanks for the extension. I use it daily. The only thing that would make it better is if I could have different keyboard shortcuts for the first, second, and third formats. (Donated)

Longtime user, so I happily purchased. Works perfectly to copy the names of all your tabs. I save the list in a OneNote notebook - then I can close all those open windows and open tabs. If I really needed one of those tabs, the text is now date-stamped and searchable by name! Request: I didn't see a way to configure adding a suffix to one of your styles that says, for example, "TabCopy found 47 tabs in 6 windows." Including headings per window within the listings would be nice, since I have separate windows for my 4 projects.

Super easy to use. Super convenient. I'm pretty experienced with tech but I find a lot of it to be needlessly complicated and confusing. TabCopy is a refreshing exception. I can now copy all of the tabs on any window and paste them somewhere (I use Apple Notes). I put in titles for each group of tabs I paste in so I can remember what they are. I can now close the window and easily reopen all of the tabs when I want. Saves system resources and streamlines Chrome use.

I wish this extension was available on the new Chromium-based Edge browser that just came out.

Does exactly what it says, smoothly and easily :)

Awesome, does exactly what you'd want it to do with no extra fluff. Love the quick customization features.

Was disappointing so I uninstalled it. (1) How to contact the author / community for help? tabcopy.com redirects right back to this web store page (2) I can't seem to navigate the menu with the keyboard. Seems to be mouse only, even though I have "Full Keyboard Access" turned on and I can navigate the rest of Chrome with the keyboard.

Amazing Extension.

The one major flaw in this extension is its glaring omission. It neglects to mention how and where to retrieve the copied tabs. It also makes the false claim that it offers a choice of formats. It doesn't. This extension is yet another in the range of fake extensions that Chrome doesn't seem to vet.

Saves me heaps of time - would love more granular shortcuts, but as is - super useful - tx a bunch! ?

A verywell done tool. Very good functionalities and efficient. Could be a little enhanced to reach greatly more elaborated function (read further the implementation that I have done) : 1- save custom named format(s) into personal list 2- a combo list for custom formats I explain : I had (and go on to have) to produce reference lists of documentation (viewed as tabs of chrome browser) able to be easily inserted at the end of a word document and too into an html document. With native formats there is a lot of job to do for getting a list of active links and well formated titles (I have several hundredth elements into the lists to produce). The solution have been : - develop a "custom" format for tabcopy which writes a custom html list - include this list into an "htm" microsoft document format with an html editor. - either : - mark and copy the list into word from the htm document (used to copy paste from-to Word docx format) - insert the list into any document as I have done into a Wordpress document. Then you can imagine that to keep various custom format can be very useful. Then choose the custom format to use with a combobox avoid to have to change parameters when you want to use a different customized format.

I used TabLinks (from Brett Terpstra) on Mac for many years, but as it lost the ability to function in Safari, the replacement search was on. This ext has customizable output format, assignable shortcuts, options to copy 1) current tab, 2) current window of tabs, or 3) all tabs of all windows. Anyone who might not see the absolute value of tools like this (and this one, as my fav), consider: 1. When researching a topic on the web: Before you're done, do you generate 5-25 windows containing 5-35 tabs each? 2. Do you sometimes need to save groups of tabs, and only have "save to your in-browser bookmark collection" as an option? 3. Has the process of adding, sorting, maintaining, purging, and finding bookmarks in the in-browser bookmark manager became a nightmare trip back to a 1995 GUI, with literally thousands of bookmarks? I did, and mine had. Now, consider this scenario: I have 4 windows of ~20 tabs of research covering 2 main topics, with some very good stackoverflow discussions that I would like to come back to skim later. 1. In each of 2 project folders in the Mac Finder, I create a Markdown textfile note (Keyboard Maestro macro). Time cost: 10s 2. Go to Chrome, window #1: click the TabCopy icon to copy all tabs in the window. Go to "Markdown doc A", paste the list of 20 tabs as an unordered list. If I want to type a 3 or 4 word H4 heading for later context, I will. Repeat for window #2. Time cost: 10s x2. 3. When I return to Chrome, Command-Shift-W to close all tabs in window, x2. Time cost: 5s 4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for Chrome window #3 and #4 (20 tabs each) to "Markdown doc B." Result: For a time cost of 30-60 seconds, instead of having: - An ever-accreting giant wad of thousands of bookmarks in a laggy and intractable "Bookmarks collection" (especially in Chrome - that non-native browser window bmark nav is < snappy), - A "bookmarks folder" saved in a huge hierarchy that has to mirror your other project documents in a aged proprietary interface. I instead have: - batches of links in a very clean markdown list, click-able from my markdown editor if I want. As I work through my notes in markdown, I can rearrange, delete, or open any links. - A bookmarks collection that grows much less quickly than before, thanks to this new offload capability. Sometimes I might save folders of bookmarks to the finder as weblocs, but I try to avoid adding the cruft of 40 new files to my filesystem when I just need the _links_. And for me, the time cost of less than a minute is well worth it. TL;DR <file not found>

Loved it

HTML format lets to import them on Chromium and Firefox, great quality -- the only thing is that it would be good to have the Include Pinned switch on the popup interface .

I've long used an equivalent of this on Firefox, and came looking for something in the Chrome web store. I found this, and so glad I did! Works beautifully, and has extra useful features that my FF version doesn't have. Kudos to the dev!

Bug: Copy Link only copies tab titles Feature Request: Open Pasted urls

does its job. Worth getting yourself familiarized with the settings to get the optimal copy format results. thanks

Essential tool. I use it every day.

Pretty nice, but it would be also great to have an option to copy to the clipboard an image plus a link to be able to paste an image with the source page link to email, word or google docs.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Excellent features and impeccable usability and configurability

Well Done.

Sharing info with other is important and tabcopy makes this super fast and easy. Thank you ever so much for your creative approach to offering a nifty sharing tool!

This extension provides a feature only a few did well on the Chrome platform. It is, after all completely base on a straightforward function. These are the tools to me that shine., the ones that do one thing but they do it the best. I love the export to JSON format idea. the other outs puts are clean. UI is fresh... by that I mean the options page lol... all in all.... a real gem. I can see real scalability with the export feature.

Demo video - https://youtu.be/QcHZCiqFxkc This extension does the job very well out of the box. It also offers additional features in the options menu such as custom formatting, and defined defaults, for common export types and text formats, like bbcode, html, and markdown. There are 3 advanced menus, The default extension parameters, and 2 additional menus. Simple and Advanced. See this short video, for a demo of what features comes out of the box. I would love to see more templates, and, perhaps export options to work with cloud or pastbins. GREAT JOB DEVS AND THANK YOU!!

برنامج رائع وبسيط وعملي لمن يريدون عمل فهرسة للمواقع المهمة ويسهل كثيرا من عملية النسخ واللصق المتعلقة بعنوان الموقع ورابطه.... انصح الجميع بتجربته

I've spent months trying to find a simple, but effective, way of managing sessions or groups of tabs. I've tried so many tab extensions, I know them all. Then I came across this simple and elegant solution. I can simply save the URLs for a group of tabs and paste them into a notebook type of document (OneNote, Evernote, etc.—whatever you use). The copy them all, paste them into another extension, Open Multiple URLs, and boom. For the first time, I have *exactly* what I've been looking for. Thank you, thank you!

Very helpful

Very polished and works as expected. I would like to see the option added to copy tab URLs as shortened URLs like Rich Copy URL extension, but have the ability to copy the current tab, window, or all tabs like TabCopy: Rich Copy URL - Chrome Web Store: https://goo.gl/tv53uH

The extension works great, but is there a way it could delimit some parts of the URL? for example: https://www.abc.com/defg-hijklm-nopqrst delimiter-start: - delimiter-end: - result: hijklm or even copy a number of characters?

Thank You! This I rely on for backing up tab sessions... Tab Session Manager is also good but TabCopy is essential for its versatile output format.

Excellent extension and nothing else like it on the market. At any time, I can have more than 50 tabs open at once and this once's a lifesaver so that I can save my tabs in case my browser crashes since restoring of tabs sometimes does not work.

Instantly insert a clean, professional group of URLs in your document. Really great. One suggestion: in fancy mode, we have option for natural numbering. add option for alphabet. thank you.

I love that you can choose from several formats for the copy output

Love it. Easy to use.
