Internet searches often lead to dozens of open tabs. And in the case of research papers, that means opening each tab, copying the link, and adding it to a reference document that you’ll insert at the end of a document later. But there is a better way.
Instead of keeping them in tabs, we’re going to use a little bookmark hack to get a list of all the URLs in each tab you’ve opened. After saving these tabs as bookmarks, we will use a Chrome feature that allows us to copy the URLs of all bookmarks in a folder.
Then all we have to do is paste them into a text editor for later use. Once we don’t need them anymore, we can just delete the folder they were in and erase them from our bookmarks.
Save tabs as bookmarks
1) In Chrome browser with all tabs open, click on the menu icon in the upper left corner.
2) In the Chrome menu, click on Bookmarks.
3) From the menu that opens, select Mark all tabs.
4) In the dialog box that opens, assign a name to the bookmarks collection.
5) Click on Save to save the new Bookmarks folder.
Copy bookmarks
6) In the Bookmarks menu, go to bookmarks manager.
7) Click to open the new folder created before.
8) In the new folder created, select all bookmarks.
9) With all bookmarks selected, right click to open the context menu.
10) In the menu that appears, click Copy.
You can now paste what you copied into your favorite text editor.
