Microsoft has published (via Techdows) an extension for the Microsoft Edge browse known as “Group Tabs & Share” designed to make it easier to share tabs with other people.

The extension lets you group tabs and copy the links in bulk to quickly share them through email, social media, or using the built-in options (WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Microsoft Teams). In addition, you can customize the format to allow you to download the content in HTML, CSV, and JSON to share taps in those formats.
