Victor TOULOUSE (ID: 0000002285bfcea0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 Windows only. Relies on a Windows executable. I doubt a compiled executable is necessary for this. And there isn't even a disclaimer on the extension page.

Zac Roughley (ID: 00000090f2fad5cc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/27/2019 I was previously using an extension "Open With Firefox" (which the developer abandoned after his most recent update broke the entire extension) as there are several sites I frequent that work better in Firefox, as well as taking advantage of Firefox remembering "Per Domain" download directories when saving things. This extension does exactly what it says and functions great! Thank you! I do have one suggestion though, and that is for the radio button to remember which browser you used last, so instead of having to click the CopyTabs button, Click Firefox, and then click OK, maybe provide one of the following functionalities: Option 1. Remove the OK button altogether, and just have 2 buttons for each browser choice, Such as Firefox | Firefox Private and upon clicking it, it immediately opens. Option 2. Remember the last choice, and keep the Radio Button selected, so if I choose Firefox and hit OK, the next time I click on CopyTabs, the Firefox button will still be selected and I just have to hit OK. I personally think Option 1 would be better though. Keep the dropdown at the top, and add 2 buttons (or links) for each browser which acts as both the selector and the OK button in one. :) --Edit: November 27th, 2019-- Unfortunately after some time using this extension, I'm lowering my rating down to 3 stars as there is a severe memory leak of sorts, or issue when one operates Chrome with a large number of tabs open. Here is an Imgur gallery showing the 49 or so Chrome Processes running, and over 600 "OpenBrowserUrls.Host" processes, which are related to CopyTabs. https://imgur.com/a/JMbWIrB Unfortunately I will not be continuing to use this extension. It works well for opening tabs to another browser, but the instability it causes when one is a power user in Chrome isn't acceptable, and having to spawn that many processes could use some serious optimization, such as only spawning when opening a tab and then closing itself immediately afterwards.
