> Open multiple URLs at once in Chrome, Edge or Brave: bookmark folders, startup pages, a paste-a-list extension, the command line, and one-command link sets.

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.

| Situation | Best method |
| --- | --- |
| One-off pasted list | Open Multiple URLs extension |
| Same pages on every launch | **On startup** setting |
| A set you open weekly | Bookmark folder, **Open all** |
| Several sets you open daily | SuperCommands link collection |
| From a script | Command line |

## 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](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179)). 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](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4531783/microsoft-edge-keyboard-shortcuts)); Brave matches Chrome.

> **Note:** To open a set on every launch, go to **Settings**, **On startup**, **Open a specific page or set of pages** ([Google's startup help](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95314?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop)). It fires every time, even when you wanted one page.

## 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](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-multiple-urls/oifijhaokejakekmnjmphonojcfkpbbh):** 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](https://github.com/htrinter/Open-Multiple-URLs/), 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](https://supercommands.com/docs/links)).

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](https://supercommands.com/blogs/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](https://supercommands.com/blogs/how-to-save-all-open-tabs-chrome).
