Schedule from the right-click menu
Right-click any page or link and choose “Schedule this page in Tab Scheduler”.
Schedule a website straight from the page you are reading. Right-click and choose Schedule this page in Tab Scheduler, or right-click a link and choose Schedule this link in Tab Scheduler. There is no need to copy and paste addresses.
How the right-click menu works
Tab Scheduler adds two entries to the browser's right-click menu. The page entry uses the address of the page you are on. The link entry uses the address the link points to, so you can schedule a page before you even open it.
When you click either entry, the Tab Scheduler settings page opens in a new tab with the address already in Website Link. If the settings page is already open, Tab Scheduler switches to it and fills in the address there. Nothing is saved until you choose the timing and click Save Schedule.
