This APP can help you to open a file which contains a site in it, and automatically open it in a browser.
No need to open, edit, copy and paste to the browser, save lots of your time!!

Note:
- This APP needs storage permission to be able to be fully functional.
- For older Android version which does not have build-in file manager, it is recommended to install one to be fully functional for the open button in the app.
- Currently cannot open Google Doc file, you need to create a .txt or .url file.
- If you have any questions on how to use this app or your device cannot work well, please email to me and it would be better to attach the file that you are trying to open with "URL opener". I am willing to help, thank you.
