Just joined this StackExchange to show some appreciation for Jeremy's answer above, and also add the few lines of JS I used to export the tabs list (since copying with the cursor isn't ideal!)

As Jeremy said, select Remote devices under More tools on Chrome devtools icon (top right of the panel):

  • set up USB debugging on your phone (under SettingsDeveloper options, root not required)
    • note that you must enable the Developer options menu, it's hidden by default to protect users
    • on my phone this required tapping multiple times on the build number under SettingsAbout Device
  • once this is done, plug your USB in and allow MTP connection
  • when the Chrome devtools remote device panel is open, the phone will then request to allow USB debugging
    • you can opt to always trust the computer

Now the device is connected,

  • open a 2nd devtools view on the devtools view from which you selected Remote devices to be able to retrieve the list of tabs using JavaScript
    • note that you must have devtools in pop-out mode (use the vertical ellipsis symbol in the top right of the panel) to be able to get this up, otherwise Ctrl+J will just close the first devtools panel.
  • expand the list from the first few items to all tabs by clicking 'Show more'
  • to script against the list, use the following few lines of code [entered in the console of the 2nd devtools window]
    • N.B. /deep/ is the CSS selector to enter #shadow-root DOM elements

To export a list of all URLs open on Chrome for Android, I chose to just make the list into a markdown formatted text string and copy it to the clipboard

tabs = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ div /deep/ .device-page-list .vbox'), s => ({name: s.querySelector('.device-page-title').textContent, url: s.querySelector('.device-page-url .devtools-link').href}))
str = '';
  for (i=0;i<tabs.length;i++){
  str += '['+tabs[i]['name']+']('+tabs[i]['url']+')\n'
}
copy(str)

You will then have a list on your clipboard looking like this:
