2. Open the extension by clicking on its icon in the top right corner of the Chrome browser window.

3. Click the “Export” button in the popup window.

4. Save the generated text file containing the URLs of all your active tabs.

Method 3: Using Chrome’s History

1. Open Chrome and press Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows/Linux) or Command + Option + J (Mac) to open the Chrome Console.

2. In the console, type the following code and press Enter:

   chrome.tabs.query({}, function (tabs) { console.log(tabs); });

3. The console will output a list of all open tabs in JSON format.

4. Copy the JSON output.

5. Paste the JSON into a text editor and save it as a .json file.

This will export the list of open tabs in JSON format.

To Export a List of Open Chrome Tabs

You can use one of three methods: bookmarking all tabs, installing the ‘Export Tabs’ extension, or using the Chrome Console. Choose the method that best suits your needs and preferences.

If you want a simple solution with minimal effort, bookmarking all tabs is a good option.

For more flexibility and customization, consider installing the ‘Export Tabs’ extension.

Alternatively, if you’re comfortable with coding, using the Chrome Console can provide a precise and detailed output in JSON format.
