Sending/Syncing Tabs between devices not working

[bengta]

@Ayespy Good for you.
It still doesn't work for me though. I just changed laptops at work, and the new laptop never received any tabs. Or does it perhaps take several days for it to sync? I was expecting the sync to be as instant as all the other settings and objects.

@bengta A device does not "receive" any tabs. Rather, the tabs of other devices are visible (and can be opened) under the sync cloud (which is next to the discarded tabs bin).

@Ayespy Oh, how we learn new things every day. I was expecting something else, without reading the ... manual apparently. Thanks for enlightening me about this functionality. It is of course working flawlessly now when I know what should happen.

THANK YOU!

@asb15 The ability to "send" tabs was removed from the Chromium code a couple of years ago. There is no function whereby you open a tab on one device and find the same tab open on another device.

Rather, open tabs on a synced device are saved to the sync server, and can be accessed on the server from any other of your synced devices.

@Ayespy Aha... I didn't know that. Thank you for the answer. Sync server is working fine.

I tried the sending tabs feature and I can send tabs from computer to computer and from computer to phone.

But is it possible to send tabs from phone to computer?

I tried to open vivaldi://experiments on my phone but the page is not available. I can't also find the icon for sending tabs from Vivaldi's share menu on my phone.

My phone is iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 18.0.1.

I've tried with the stable version from App Store and the snapshot version from Testflight.

Hi, please open a new thread about this.
It would be nice to share experiences with this re-added feature.
On Android there is "Share" in the menu, then you can choose "Other device".
This should work on iOS and MacOS.

Cheers, mib

I was going to open a thread at first, but then I saw this thread existed.

I'll open a new thread shortly.

Hello,

is there any schedule to make it work on Android also?
