Push Browser App Should Make Chrome’s Apple Fans Happy

Chrome To Phone actually does a little more than just shunt links between the two devices: it actually dispatches to an appropriate application based on the content you send.<p>For instance, highlighting a phone number opens the dialer with it pre-filled. Manually modified routes on Google Maps are preserved when being sent, and also open in the native Maps application. YouTube links open in the YouTube app. Selected text gets sent to the device's clipboard.<p>It's pretty fantastic. Hopefully Push Browser can grow those features as well.

I've actually just been using the Notifo extension[1] and Notifo iPhone app.<p>Interesting that your original post[2] announcing the launch wasn't as well received as this secondary source/blogpost ...possibly timing of the post?<p>[1]: <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lgffhepmapgeepjnhchaabmaoijfcnhi" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lgffhepmapgeepjnhc...</a> [2]: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2269900" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2269900</a>

I'm using Handoff for this (<a href="https://www.handoffapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.handoffapp.com/</a>) which includes extensions for Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

<a href="http://www.pastefire.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pastefire.com</a> lets you send any selected text from anywhere on your mac (and PC? not tried) via right click - free!

I'd love to see this for android too, so I could share between all devices with one system.

I heard Wired did a whole issue on how this is the future.
