Airdrop from Mac to iPhone in Vivaldi

[necrodup]

Anyone know how to Airdrop a URL from a Macbook to iphone? Seems like you can do it in other browsers but not this one.

@necrodup Since you can't install Vivaldi on iPhone, you will find that you can't coordinate actions between Vivaldi on Mac OS and iOS.

Apple will not let us have Vivaldi on iPhone unless it's built on their (Apple's) browser foundation.

Airdropping a URL is just a link sent over the Airdrop protocol. I don't think it matters which browser is there to receive it - the default browser is used. My partner Airdrops links from her laptop using Safari and I pick it up with Vivaldi just fine. I cannot do the opposite though.

I would like it very much if Vivaldi supported sending links via Airdrop, but I guess seeing it is platform specific, unlikely. Would it possible to add?

So to add further to the comment above, Vivaldi wouldn't need to be on the iPhone - If sent via Airdrop, Safari would pick it up just fine.

Might be able to use the Airdrop in the Finder to send a url

@ayespy There must be ways around that! There must be people to contact to make things happen?

Put it this way - I could easily stop using my iPhone and change to something else. Well, I got better things to do. But I would NEVER STOP USING VIVALDI.

My main need is - share my bookmarks. Yes, I can export, import and all that crap.

What can we do to help?

@mogle The topic is about Airdrop, not bookmark sharing.

When I still was on macOS there was no Android browser. I shared sessions by opening my current Vivaldi tabs on desktop in Firefox, which then synced it to Firefox on Android. Does desktop Safari sync the current list of tabs to iOS Safari? If so, that would be a viable replacement for airdrop for the time being.

Here is the AppleScript I used back then, it could be changed to work with Safari instead ☛ https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/31772/mobile-vivaldi-for-ios/21
