Your First URL List

Let us walk through a simple example to get you started with bulkU.

1. Open bulkU

Click the bulkU icon in your browser toolbar. The extension will open in the sidebar, showing your default group.

2. Add URLs

There are several ways to add URLs to bulkU:

  • Copy & Paste: Copy URLs from anywhere (Excel, Screaming Frog, websites) and paste them into the text area
  • Import from File: Click “Import from File” and select a .txt, .csv, or .json file
  • Get Open Tabs: Click “Get Open Tabs” to add all currently open tabs

Click “Add URLs” when you are done. Duplicates are automatically removed!

3. Review Your URLs

Your URLs appear in a list below. You can:

  • Check/uncheck URLs to select which ones to open
  • Use filters to find specific URLs
  • Sort URLs alphabetically or by other criteria
  • Add tags to organize URLs

4. Configure Opening Settings

Before opening URLs, you can configure:

  • Delay: Time to wait between batches (default: 2 seconds)
  • Batch Size: Number of URLs to open at once (default: 10)
  • Limit: Maximum number of URLs to open (0 = no limit)
  • Open Mode: New tabs, new window, or tab group

Tip: Start with smaller batch sizes and longer delays to prevent browser overload, especially when opening many URLs.

5. Open URLs

Click “Open Selected” to open your checked URLs. bulkU will open them in batches according to your settings. You can watch the progress in the extension.

6. Export Your Data

You can export your URL list at any time:
