Title says it all: when I wake up to 100+ notifications, I don’t want to manually open each in a new tab. Is there an easy way to open them all? It’s especially annoying when most of them get error 429 “too many requests”.

I don’t think you’d want this… opening 100+ tabs at once is a bad idea for your computer, just ask Google Sheets, they limited it to 50.

I don’t always open every single notification; I will usually skip identifications for common species where I can tell from the little pop-up that the taxon identification hasn’t changed.
