This is really cool! Is there a way to adapt this to Firefox? I don't use Chrome, but I'd love to have this!

I'll tinker with it and report back if I figure it out.

Nice and it was very easy to get it to work in linux

Adapted it to work with Linux+Chromium+xdg-open. Thanks!

Easily updated to handle Microsoft Edge (Chromium) on MacOS Mojave as well. Thanks!

added

xopen() {
    for var in "$@"; do
        xdg-open "$var" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    done
}

export -f xopen

/usr/bin/ruby -x "$0"                                          |
  fzf-tmux -u 30% --ansi --multi --no-hscroll --tiebreak=begin |
  awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\t" } { print $2 }'                       |
  xargs bash -c 'xopen "$@"' _ {}

exit $?

to support fzf multi-select and opening multiple tabs, as well as pushing xdg-open into the background with no output

Nice! I just adapted it to work with the Brave Browser, basically chromium; for some reason mine also needed the xargs -n 1 option in order to work with fzf --multi.
