Sending/Syncing Tabs between devices not working
-
So friends, I've been using the reading list to supplant this sync functionality and it's been working rather well. I highly suggest it as an alternative for the time being while they hopefully fix the sending tabs issue.

Hi, you can always use the cloud icon right top on desktop and the same in the tab viewer on Android to show open tabs on other devices. Not as comfortable as "Send to" but work.Cheers, mib

OH nice, never used that before. Thanks!

@DoctorG: Do you know if there is any progress in regard to this topic? It seems to be either not-so-high priority or probably not so easy to implement / bring back to feature. Am I correct with those assumptions?
-
@patrickweiden As Chromium 108 and 110 core does not have the feature re-added at this time, Vivaldi will not get it back as fast as we want.
No progress. -
@DoctorG: This is strange. Can the Vivaldi devs not possibly take a look at e.g. Brave, which still has the Sync feature implemented? As Brave is open source, it should not be a problem of getting code for this feature to be used in Vivaldi, I guess...
-
@patrickweiden I guess, if it would be so easy, the Vivaldi devs had already added the feature.
-
@DoctorG: It depends on the time the devs have to work on such features. If the priority is not high enough, I think there could be not enough time left to work on this topic... (I also assume that it takes some time to find out which code of Brave etc. could be taken, where to insert it into Vivaldi source code, etc., and that this analysis could be very time-consuming...)
-
@patrickweiden I pinged a dev internally to get an answer.
-
@pappageek yea I did same thing !! got rid of Brave thinking Vivaldi will be better but ffs lots of bugs and issues !!
-
@marius_zz Thanks for your rant! But Vivaldi can not fix it as it is a removed feature in Chromium core.
And i wish you: be happy with Brave.

There are an estimated 1.5 trillion ways to get a tab onto another device using Vivaldi functionality. I’m baffled by this topic. It should also be noted that »send tab to another device« has always been the slowest of the bunch and nagged with a silly popup. The topic is old, but nowadays the reading list is the most casual and non‐committal way to share a tab between devices.

Besides the reading list, what are the other 1,499,999,999,999,999 ways to get a tab to another device?

@brianrubin Bookmarks, notes, synced tabs, QR code, email, or alternatively anything else your OS might provide (think KDE Connect). It’s not like it’s impossible or hard and there are many options to choose from.

I will admit I forget about this one all the time. Thank you.

I've used several of those methods, but the send-to functionality was so helpful for me, and most of those other methods were clunky by comparison. I don't see why my wanting it is a problem for you.

The bug VB-86341 "Send to your devices" option doesn't work
is still open and assigned to a developer.
The code was removed from the Chromium developer, I hope we get it back at some point.Cheers, mib

@brianrubin It’s not a problem, but I think it’s unlikely it will get reintroduced the same way as before, if ever. I just want to make clear the functionality did not disappear. In my opinion »send tab to device« duplicates functionality the reading list already has, but the later has much more potential and ways to improve it.

Agreed.

Yeah you're probably right. I just replied to this thread to show there's still interest in such functionality.

Bump for this getting addressed. I am no coder and am sure the Vivaldi team has plenty of work already - I wish there was some way to take the code that was taken out, and put it back in. Since Brave is open source is there no way to look at what they did to continue this functionality?
There is certainly interest in this functionality, fingers crossed it can get addressed!
I still love vivalid, just which I could get all the vivalid love to sync across devices
