How To: Share Tabs Between Devices / Send Tab to Computer
-
Sad that we're in March 2023 and still this feature isn't restored. For years I've been trying to switch from Firefox and Vivaldi seemt a great candidate, but this is a deal breaker for me. I shouldn't have to keep tabs open in one side, just so I can grab on another device. Sure I can hibernate the tab but I just want to send and forget about it, not having to worry to go to the other device and get it back.

In Firefox, I send tabs to work, to my bat-phone, to Batgirl (we share an account), sites that require you to sign up for something only to give you a pdf, you can send that pdf over too, images and infographics, interesting pieces of code I find (like a css doing something clever), and more. Send it and forget it on this device, pick it up and use it on another device. Find something good before lunch? Send to it phone and keep reading. The current setup is nowhere near as useful. For me, this is a killer feature.
Further, Mozilla's implementation rocks. I can right click on a page, or the tab, multi-select tabs and send them all over at once, rather than having to send them over one at a time. The tabs can be a mix of items, it doesn't matter. Great utility. I check back on this forum every few months to see if Vivaldi has done anything different for this feature.

@Bewc Does the Firefox implementation allow for "send to other device and close tab"? That would be perfect. I would also love a "pull tab from other device and close there".

@felagund It's a two step for that.
step 1: right click -> send tab
step 2: right click -> close tab
However, sometimes I want to close the tab(s) and sometimes I don't. What is cool, is if I have a bunch of tabs, I can select them all, right click send, and then right click close, which at times is better than doing each tab on its own.
