보라_ (ID: 0000005d0fd07fdb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/17/2022 It is very inconvenient because I have to write each url one by one. I need the ability to paste many Internet addresses at once.

Jesse Ferrell (ID: 000000f4db7d13b5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/15/2022 Really neat, works great -- EXCEPT... 1. When logging out and back into Chrome, it loses all the settings including the list of websites. 2. It puts these websites in History over and over again which is a pain when searching through recent history.
