About this extension

The Batch Text Extractor is a powerful browser extension designed for researchers, analysts, journalists, and anyone who needs to quickly collect large amounts of text from webpages. Simply provide a list of URLs, click "Process," and away you go.

Here's a bulleted version of that text:

It opens each URL in a new tab, extracts the readable text, labels it with the source URL, and then automatically closes the tab.
All extracted text is compiled into a single, easy-to-use plain text file.
The extension only runs when you manually trigger it, ensuring it won't interfere with your other open tabs.
It's built to be lightweight, fast, and completely privacy-conscious, with no tracking or unnecessary features.
A built-in 20-second delay allows slower or larger web pages to fully load before text extraction begins, ensuring comprehensive results.

The Batch Text Extractor is your go-to tool for a streamlined URL-to-text journey. What other features or updates would make your experience even better?

Tips & Known Limitations
The extension performs best with static content. Pages that rely heavily on JavaScript (such as dynamic feeds or infinite scroll) may result in incomplete extraction. A fixed 20-second wait time is built into let pages load, but this may not be sufficient for large batches or slower connections — in those cases, you may see “FAILED TO EXTRACT” in the output. While Firefox may temporarily display about:blank
