Do you guy know something like a "Phone to Chrome"? I'm desperate to find a way to open simply with my desktop Chrome web pages that I stumble upon with my Android but which are impractical to read with it.


You can do this if you use Chrome on your phone, and are signed in with sync enabled. The tabs on your phone are accessible from the 'New Tab' page on you desktop and vice versa. On desktop Chrome, there's a little 'Other Devices' drop down at the bottom; on Chrome for Android, there's a button with a pair of arrows at the bottom right.


Can that work in one direction? I have dozens of tabs open on my desktops, and I don't want to punish my phone with that.


It doesn't open the tabs automatically. Your tabs open on your desktop are listed essentially like bookmarks on your phone. You choose to open them or not at any given time.

The feature is enabled by default so if you're using Chrome already (on both devices, with your Google account), then it's likely already syncing (and clearly not punishing your phone).


That's great! Thank you.
