URL Scraper & Exporter Extension

A lightweight browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.) that scrapes all hyperlinks from the current web page and allows you to copy them to your clipboard or save them as a text file.

Features

• One-Click Scraping: Automatically grabs all URL links (href attributes) from the active tab.
• Clean UI: Displays the unique URLs in a scrollable list.
• Copy to Clipboard: detailed button to copy all found URLs instantly.
• Export to Text: Save the list of URLs as a .txt file for later use.
• Privacy Focused: Runs entirely locally in your browser. No data is sent to external servers.
