Key takeaways

  • Right-click a bookmarks folder and choose Open all to open every URL in it.
  • Open Multiple URLs (about 800,000 users, GPL-3.0) opens a pasted list, one URL per line.
  • A SuperCommands link collection opens a whole set from one command, e.g. c 9am opens 4 links.

To open multiple URLs at once in Chrome, put the pages in one bookmarks folder, right-click it and choose Open all. For a one-off list someone pasted to you, the free Open Multiple URLs extension (about 800,000 users) opens it in one click. Both work in Edge and Brave.

How do I open multiple URLs from a bookmark folder?

Save the pages into one folder, then use Open all. It fits a reused set, such as a support agent's queue, admin panel and macros doc.

  1. Open the pages and press Ctrl + Shift + D (Command + Shift + D on Mac) to save every tab in the window to a new folder (Google's shortcut list). Name it support morning.
  2. Later, right-click the folder on the bookmarks bar.
  3. Choose Open all, Open all in new window or Open all in incognito window.

Edge saves tabs as favorites with the same shortcut (Microsoft's shortcut list); Brave matches Chrome.

How do I open a pasted list of URLs?

Paste it into the Open Multiple URLs extension, or pass the URLs on the command line.

  • Open Multiple URLs: paste one URL per line and click open. It extracts URLs from text and can lazy-load tabs so 30 links do not stall a laptop. As of October 2026: 4.7 stars, version 1.7.5 (April 2025), open source on GitHub, storage permission only.
  • Windows: start chrome "https://example.com" "https://example.org"
  • Mac: open -a "Google Chrome" https://example.com https://example.org. Swap in msedge or "Brave Browser".
  • Links on one page: Ctrl-click or middle-click each to open background tabs.

How do I open multiple URLs with one command?

Save them as a SuperCommands link collection and type its name. The site's examples: c 9am opens four meeting links, c work opens six work apps.

  1. Press Alt + S on any web page and type c link.
  2. Add URLs from Current Tabs, history, bookmarks or a custom URL.
  3. Reorder so your starting page is first, name it support morning and save.
  4. In Properties, add the Text Shortcut support or a hotkey such as Alt + M.
  5. Type c, Space, support in the address bar: every page opens.

A URL with {query} becomes a dynamic link: text typed after its shortcut goes into the URL, handy for a ticket tracker (links docs).

Limits: chrome://settings and extension pages cannot be saved, and only addresses are stored, not sign-ins or typed input. See also how to create keyboard shortcuts for any website.

Which one should you pick?

  • Pick a bookmark folder if you open the same set a few times a week.
  • Pick Open Multiple URLs if someone sends you 15 links in a message.
  • Pick the command line if the URLs come from a script.
  • Pick SuperCommands (free and open source; the local version is 100% free, forever) if you open several sets daily by name or hotkey. To keep tabs you already have, see how to save all tabs in Chrome.
