Getting Started

Install and start using Umbrella to manage your browser tabs efficiently.

Installation

  1. Download or clone the GitHub repository
  2. Open chrome://extensions/ in your Chrome browser
  3. Enable Developer mode in the top right corner
  4. Click Load unpacked and select the extension directory

Quick Start

Once installed, you can start using Umbrella immediately:

  1. Click the Umbrella icon in your Chrome toolbar
  2. URLs from all open tabs are automatically copied to your clipboard
  3. Click Paste URLs to open URLs from your clipboard in new tabs
The whole loop in one take: copy a window full of tabs, paste them back, and the session returns.

Basic Usage

Copy URLs

There are multiple ways to copy URLs:

  • Popup: Click the extension icon and URLs are automatically copied
  • Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl+Shift+U (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+U (Mac)
  • Context Menu: Right-click anywhere and select "Copy URLs"
Open the popup and every tab in the window lands on your clipboard.

Paste URLs

  • Popup: Click the extension icon and then click "Paste URLs"
  • Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl+Shift+Y (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+Y (Mac)
  • Context Menu: Right-click anywhere and select "Paste URLs"
Paste re-opens every URL from your clipboard as a tab — a closed session, restored.

Click the Options button in the popup to customize:

  • Default copy format (text, HTML, JSON, custom)
