How to stop Chrome from warning me when opening many tabs?

In Chrome I have a bookmark folder which contains many bookmarks to web-comics. Every day I right click on that folder and select "Open all bookmarks in new window." That makes it very easy to tab through all the comics and then close the window when I'm done reading.

The annoying thing is that every time I open the window, Chrome asks me "Are you sure you want to open 18 tabs?"

Yes, I am sure. This dialog box is just annoying and wasting my time. Is there a way to get it so the default is always yes, and the dialog box never appears?

There is a feature request on Chromium's project page from 2012. The title is:

Don't warn repeatedly when opening 15+ bookmarks in one action

It was closed in 2014 with the status "WontFix" which means there won't be a built-in way to disable this warning.

As an alternative you could use Neater Bookmarks. You have to disable this option after installation

Bulk opening by middle-click or right-click+context menu on a folder works. No warning will be displayed

Don't you consider different way of daily workflow? Instead of opening all the bookmarks, cannot you just set up option "Restore all opened tabs" in Chrome? So every day you will just continue from the state you left yesterday and you don't have to open all bookmarks.

I tried Neater Bookmarks, it worked, but if you open your tabs from the bookmarks bar, the warning still displays.

I find a workaround using Autohotkey (). You'll need to install it first, but it's a great, great free tool and I've used it for many years.

After you've installed Autohotkey, put the following in a script named mbutton.ahk:

~MButton::Send, {Enter}

Then run mbutton.ahk

Now, open a book mark folder by middle click, the warning shoud be dismissed automatically.

If the one line script does not work, try adding a time delay, like:

~MButton:: { Sleep, 100 Send, {Enter} }

Worse than just getting a notification, chrome just closes the notification and does nothing after clicking "yes"
