Link Opener - A Simple Tab Session Saver and Restorer

or simply **_Lobster_** (**L**ink **O**pener **B**rowser **S**ave **T**ab **E**xtension **R**evisited)

A simple, privacy-friendly tool to save and reopen browser sessions – with tab groups support on Chrome and Firefox.

✅ Features

-   Export all open tabs to a `.txt` file
-   Open links from a `.txt` file
-   Export and import tab groups via `.json`
-   Dark mode toggle
-   Minimal UI

Created because I have way too many tabs, wanted more control over sessions, and always wanted to build a browser extension.

 🖥️ Why Not Use Built-In Sync Options?

This extension shines in scenarios like:

-   Using **incognito** or privacy-focused browsers
-   Working across devices **without login/sync**
-   Wanting to **save specific tab groups** as named presets
-   Creating **backups** of your browsing sessions
-   Avoiding reliance on `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T` or browser restore

 About
Built for fun, function, and out of a bit of tab-hoarding desperation.
