What Is AutoBrowser?

AutoBrowser is a free Chrome extension that automatically cycles through your saved bookmarks on a customizable timer. Select one or more bookmark folders, set an interval between 1 and 300 seconds, and start a session. AutoBrowser opens each URL in a dedicated tab and advances to the next when the timer expires. Enable Random Mode to shuffle the order with full coverage tracking, ensuring every bookmark is visited before repeating. Built-in broken link detection identifies 404 errors, timeout pages, and over 100 error patterns, automatically skipping dead URLs so your session runs uninterrupted. A floating draggable widget gives you pause, skip, and stop controls on every page. AutoBrowser runs 100% locally with no accounts, no external servers, and absolutely no data collection. Your bookmarks and browsing activity stay completely private.

"This replaced a complicated tab rotation setup I had with bookmarklets. The folder picker is great — I just point it at my 'Competitor Sites' folder and let it run. Really clean UI, too."
