Bulk Tab URL Copier to Clipboard

WHAT IT DOES

This userscript helps you quickly copy URLs from multiple browser tabs to your clipboard in various formats. It scans any webpage for visible tab-like elements, hyperlinks, or a list of open tabs (e.g., in tab management pages, browser extensions, or tab lists), extracts page titles and URLs, displays a list of tabs with checkboxes, and allows you to select multiple tabs to copy their URLs to the clipboard. It supports multiple output formats: plain text (one URL per line), Markdown ([title](url)), HTML list, JSON, CSV, and Title+URL format. It shows the number of tabs selected, maintains a list of already copied tabs to avoid duplicates, and provides a preview of the formatted output before copying.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script works on any webpage with links, tab elements, or tab lists—tab management pages, browser extension interfaces, or any page with a list of URLs. It runs entirely within your browser, reading only the visible content of the current page. It does not track your browsing history, access other tabs, or send any data externally. All tab data and copy history are stored locally.

HOW TO USE

After installation, open the panel by clicking the tool's icon in the BotGentz sidebar. Choose your output format from the dropdown. Click "Scan for tabs" to extract tabs from the current page. The panel displays a list of tabs with checkboxes, showing the title and URL preview. Select the tabs you want to copy—use "Select All" to choose all. Click "Preview" to see how the formatted output will look. Click "Copy to Clipboard" to copy the selected tabs to your clipboard. Use "Clear History" to reset the copy history.

THE TECHNICAL MECHANISM

This script uses DOM traversal to extract links and tab-like elements from the page. It scans for anchor tags with href attributes, elements with data-url or data-link attributes, and elements with "tab" class names or role="tab". It extracts the page title and URL for each tab, deduplicates by URL, and displays them in a checklist. The script supports six output formats: plain text (newline-separated URLs), Markdown (link syntax), HTML (unordered list), JSON (array of objects with title and url), CSV (comma-separated with headers), and Title+URL (title, blank line, URL). The format function uses the selected format to generate the output, which is then copied to the clipboard using GM_setClipboard. The script stores the copy history in GM_setValue so you don't see already-copied tabs in future scans. All operations are client-side and do not send any data externally.

THE PANEL

The panel is draggable anywhere on the screen and remembers its position between sessions. It can be collapsed to a small floating bubble to minimize distraction, and expanded again with a single click. The panel's width can be adjusted, and pressing the Escape key closes it instantly. All settings—output format, copy history, and auto-scan preference—are persisted locally using GM_setValue, so your data remains intact across page reloads and browser restarts.

PLEASE NOTE

This userscript requires the free BotGentz extension to function. The script extracts tabs from page text—it may not capture all open tabs. The copy history helps you track which tabs you've copied—it does not affect your browser's clipboard history. The extraction relies on the current structure of the page—if the page uses a different tab format, the script may need to be updated. The script does not access your browser's tab API; it only reads what is visible on the page. No data from your browsing is stored or transmitted anywhere—all processing occurs entirely in your browser.
