Yes but not really. Imagine it is uploaded on phone. The URL is https://send.firefox.com/share/bec9e0497c https://send.firefox.com/share/bec9e0497c. Will you spend 30 seconds writing this URL in the URL bar of your computer browser? (oh no, I made a typo in the URL, let's start again...). Once again, the idea with Yopp is 7 atomic actions and no more: https://github.com/josephernest/Yopp#minimalist-ux https://github.com/josephernest/Yopp#minimalist-ux

Firefox lets you send a tab/link to another device (if you use Firefox sync). No typing necessary. >Yopp is 7 atomic actions and no more I like the UX well enough, but calling it just 7 actions completely ignores that you need to have an internet facing webserver with PHP, configured. Many of us here could arrange that pretty easily, but it greatly adds to complexity versus using an existing web-service.

    Oh that's interesting, I didn't know that about Firefox sync. How does it work? You connect, once for all (with a login/pwd?) 2 browsers (e.g. phone Firefox and computer Firefox)? Then you go to send.firefox.com, on phone, and you upload a file. And then how do I get the tab with the right URL on the PC? I guess I open Firefox, and then how can I see "tabs opened on my phone"? (Would you have a screenshot?)

      Yes, you set up Sync once on each device, with a password. You can configure what you want to sync (bookmarks, tabs, preferences, ...). I only sync bookmarks, those just appear automatically. I never tried syncing tabs. I see now there is a "Sync now" command in the old Alt-menu, and a "Synced Tabs" window in the new hamburger-menu, but I never used those.
