Google might soon borrow a sleeper Safari feature for Chrome

AI browsers have been cropping from the left, right, and center, and to keep up with intense competition, Google wants Chrome to feel as exciting as it did at launch. This is why Google is committing to delivering new Chrome features every two weeks, and one such feature could actually make researching and working with AI interfaces much easier.

Google is testing a new menu option that lets you copy multiple links at once. Based on a Chromium-related thread on Google’s Issue Tracker (via Piunika Web), Google engineers are exploring a single button to copy URLs for all tabs in a single tab group.

A Googler who proposed the idea says the feature could be useful for copying multiple sources into an AI chatbot. The engineer highlights how doing this for multiple tabs is a real bottleneck and required three to four interactions per tab, slowing the entire process down. A single button could help simplify that step. Teams are still figuring out the best way to implement it, especially to ensure that links copy cleanly.

Currently, to achieve similar results, users must rely on Chrome extensions, but even those are limited to copying all URLs at once — not just the ones in a particular group. Notably, Apple’s native Safari browser already offers the feature by default. Arc takes it a step further by letting you copy all links in a tab group at once or combine all tabs into a single “folder” that you can share via a single URL.

Engineers have already built a prototype, but that doesn’t automatically qualify it for release. It’s difficult to comment when this button could be added to Chrome or Chromium (the browser, not the engine). But if, and when, it does, you can expect it to be available in Chrome Canary and Beta versions before it makes its way to the stable channel. Additionally, we’d love to see the feature implemented in Chrome on Android as well, but there’s no guarantee it will.
