Save & Share URLs with This Browser Extension

Whether you’re a casual bookmarker or a power user managing a daily stack of links, the My URL Clipper browser extension (available for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome) makes it fast and intuitive to save, view, and share URLs—all with just a few clicks.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the main interface, how to use it, and how to create Custom Actions using the powerful %url% variable.

Note : This guide relates to version 1.2

 

🏠 Home Interface: One-Click Simplicity

Upon clicking the extension icon, you’re greeted with a clean, colorful interface. Each button serves a distinct purpose:

  • Save URL: Captures the current tab’s URL and stores it in your local database.
  • View Saved URLs: Displays all your saved links, with edit and export options.
  • Right-Click History: Tracks any links you’ve saved using the right-click context menu.
  • Options: Opens settings for advanced configurations.

At the bottom, you’ll see Custom Actions, which we’ll dive into shortly.

 

📋 View Saved URLs

When you click View Saved URLs, you’ll be presented with a simple table showing:

  • Title (editable)
  • URL
  • Date/Time Added
  • Action buttons like Edit, Export, or Clear

You can export selected URLs or the entire list. Great for archiving or syncing elsewhere.

 

🖱️ Right-Click History

When you right-click a link and choose Save to My URL Clipper, it appears in the Right-Click History tab. This helps you keep track of incidental saves you may have forgotten to manually tag.

 

⚙️ Custom Actions with %url%

In the Options page, you’ll find a section called Custom Actions. This is where the magic happens.

✅ Enable Custom Actions
Make sure Enable Custom Actions is toggled on.

🧠 How It Works
Each Custom Action is a name + URL combination. The %url% variable is replaced with the currently selected or saved link. These actions will then appear as clickable buttons on the main extension icon when left clicked.

🧪 Example Custom Actions:

Action Name         Command                                                      
Share to Facebook   https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=%url%          
Share to LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=%url%   
Share to Mastodon   https://mastodon.social/share?text=%url%                    

You can create as many as you want for any platform that accepts sharable URLs.

➕ Add a New Custom Action

  1. Scroll to the bottom row in the Custom Actions section.
    2. Enter the name (e.g., “Share to Twitter”).
    3. Add the command URL using %url% (e.g., https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=%url%).
    4. Click Save.
    5. Click the ➕ button to add another one.Your new action will now appear as a button on the main screen for quick use.

🧹 Cleanup and Export

Both the Saved URLs and Right-Click History pages allow you to:

  • Export selected items or all items.
  • Remove selected items or clear the entire list.

This keeps your workspace tidy while giving you full control over your data.
