Link Gopher
Have you ever kept a web page open for days or maybe even weeks just because it contains a bunch of links you’ve been meaning to save and organize in some fashion, some day? Link Gopher can help.
Link Gopher
Extracts all links from web page, sorts them, removes duplicates, and displays them in a new tab for inspection or copy and paste into other systems.
Simple but such a time saver — with a single click Link Gopher grabs all links from within a web page and sorts them in a new tab, so you can easily copy/paste anywhere for proper organization. Any duplicate links are automatically removed.
OneTab
This is like an emergency escape hatch when you find yourself overwhelmed with open browser tabs. Click the toolbar button and OneTab grabs all of your open links and lists them on a single scrollable page. You’ll save a lot of CPU and memory once your previously open tabs go dormant on a listing page.
OneTab is a simple and effective way of dealing with sudden tab overload. But if you need more robust tab management tools, you might be interested to check out these other great tab manager extensions.
