open chrome tabs in safari

open-chrome-tabs-in-safari.scpt

tell application "Google Chrome"
	
	set tab_list to every tab in the front window
	
	repeat with the_tab in tab_list
		set the_url to the URL of the_tab
		tell application "Safari" to open location the_url
	end repeat
	
end tell

@ashrocket AFAIK this is a run-once script, yeah. :) i'm about as n00b at applescript as anyone, so your googling/debugging is a good as mine.

@simardcasanova very cool! thanks

Thanks! Great work/tip!

Same thing on the opposite direction, from Safari to Chrome.

tell application "Safari"
	
	set tab_list to every tab in the front window
	
	repeat with the_tab in tab_list
		set the_url to the URL of the_tab
		tell application "Google Chrome" to open location the_url
	end repeat
	
end tell

Here's a variant to only open the current tab in safari with an optional line to close the tab

tell application "Google Chrome"
	
	set current_tab to active tab in the front window
	set the_url to the URL of current_tab
	tell application "Safari" to open location the_url
	
	# Uncomment the next line to close tab after opening in Safari
	# tell current_tab to close
end tell

how can I do this for one window at a time, so safari opens multiple windows as well?

Thanks for this, it is exactly what I have been looking for. I am surprised it was so hard for me to find until I happened upon this thread.
So I was able to make an Automator app with the three scripts posted here above but when I try and adapt it to a single safari tab sent to chrome I get a "syntax error: Expected end of line, etc. but found class name." All I do is copy and paste the script from two comments abopve and switch the safari and google chrome locations

tell application "Safari"

set current_tab to active tab in the front window
set the_url to the URL of current_tab
tell application "Google Chrome" to open location the_url

# Uncomment the next line to close tab after opening in Safari
# tell current_tab to close

end tell

What am I doing wrong???

I also met this problem

@JCDC85 @zhanggang807 It might just be that Safari does not expose the same api as Chrome ? I don't really know how applescript works

That's great @Dudemullet. Here's a slight improvement to activate safari.

tell application "Google Chrome"
	set current_tab to active tab in the front window
	set the_url to the URL of current_tab
end tell
	
tell application "Safari"
	open location the_url
	activate
end tell

Found this, then realized you can right-click the URL in Chrome and choose Services (see pic). There's Open option which by default (Ventura) opens in Safari. If it's not in your menu, you can enable it under Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services. Check the box for Open.
