Get the currently open tabs in Google Chrome via the command line
I'd like to write a shell script that automatically transfers all tabs from Chrome to Firefox (by getting the list of tabs from Chrome, and then opening them in Firefox with a script.) In Google Chrome, is it possible to obtain a list of open tabs via the command line?

This question was not answered, solution above is for Chrome Dev Tools where the OP asked in CLI, so this is the solution I've found :
strings ~/'.config/chromium/Default/Current Session' | 'grep' -E '^https?://'

You could also use the open-source utility chrome-cli. You can install with Homebrew:
brew install chrome-cli
Also, take note of one thing from the README:
To execute javascript you must first allow it under
View > Developer > Allow JavaScript from Apple Events.
Here's what it looks like:
$ chrome-cli list tabs

You could also use the open-source utility chrome-cli. You can install with Homebrew:
brew install chrome-cli
Also, take note of one thing from the README:
To execute javascript you must first allow it under
View > Developer > Allow JavaScript from Apple Events.
Here's what it looks like:
