What is the name of the feature that gives you a tab on your internet browser and that allows you to send information to your cell phone? Thanks a lot to the people on here who really do help and arent douche bags.
Chrome to phone

android2cloud
And android2cloud does the opposite--you can share a web page from your phone to the app which, when the extension is installed in chrome, opens the tabs you sent from your phone when you (get home and) open your browser.
there is also one for Firefox.
called
fox to phone
same people make it I believe.
And then you have the Firefox desktop sync and android browser.
yummmm

I just released a first BETA of my Bookmark to Desktop app. It allows users to share pages from the Android browser straight to the bookmarks bar of Google Chrome/Chromium on their desktop.
The app can be found on the market under the name "Bookmark to Desktop (BETA)"
The Chrome extension can be found on chrome.google.com/extensions if you search for 'bookmarktodesktop'
A firefox extension is on the roadmap.
IMPORTANT: Both the app and extension are in a beta phase so feel free to report bugs, comments or feature requests.
Thanks for this. Will try it out.
Another developer wrote a firefox add-on that works with the app.
Now both Google Chrome/Chromium and Mozilla Firefox are supported.

cool, but where to download the app?
I am going to give this a try. I use chrome to phone and have wished for this function. Just out of curiosity - you didn't want to call it "phone to chrome"?
going to try it out but... chrome to phone hardly ever works for me. never sends link and NEVER lets me sign out after it gives me the error. really ticks me off!
dose this use appspot.com?
The idea is useful. It is sync between desktop and phone?
The reason I did not call it phone to chrome is because:
1. I did not want to limit myself to 1 browser
2. The extension does not have push yet. Currently the app polls every 30minutes and a manual fetch button is available.
Instant push that opens the bookmark in a new tab is coming very soon.

Hi
thanks for the nice app, I actually have been looking for something like this for quite some time
One question though: where are the accounts created/stored? I assume they are not bound with google account, so I am guessing they are managed by you?
Cheers

Yes, the accounts are bound to my backend. Currently there is no support yet for changing passwords and managing accounts but I'll try to add that in the near future.
Good job

Works great under Galaxy S with Froyo
I got it working with a Captivate running Cognition 2.3b6 (FroYo) and Firefox 3.6.12. Great job!!!

I tested it with both regular Dolphin browser and Dolphin HD browser and they both are compatible. Use the menu button and then 'share page' from within the browser to use the application.
I just placed a small sneak preview video online that shows the upcoming instant Push to Desktop service.
http://www.vbsteven.be/blog/android-push-to-desktop-is-coming-video/
Just released the beta of PUSH to browser support on the Android market and the chrome webstore.
To try it please update your chrome extension to version 0.3 or later. The firefox addon does not have push yet but it is coming.

i would like to realize an application to synchronize google chrome bookmarks with my phone.
no problem realizing the application. the only problem is: how can i download data from google server? how can i get the list of bookmarks from google chrome server?
From what I heard, they used to have them available in the google docs website. However, they're making some changes and the synced bookmarks are not currently accessible.
I occasionally use an app called (I think) Chrome to Windows Phone which is useful for sending one link at a time - but like you say it would be great to have a complete sync like e.g. XMarks does for desktop browsers.
It might be worth contact XMarks to see if they would open their API for you to write a phone app.

xmark is a browser extension. i think it's possible to realize an extension, but my idea was an http request like you can do with google bookmarks.
an extension won't allow me to access data from the device anytime i want (or i can do it using a webserver)
You might want to take a look at chromepush.com as well.
Similar app
There is a similar application for Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&hl=ru
It will be great, if any alternative will be released for WP7!!

I recently released an app that does that - it talks directly to Google's servers using the native Chrome sync protocol. It syncs down open Tabs, Bookmarks and recently accessed web pages. It is available in the marketplace under "Chrync" - there is an unlimited trial, and I've no problem with people using it without paying for as long as they like.
I've also released a beta of a new version, which works when you have sync encryption enabled in Chrome. It also (optionally) syncs passwords, lets you pin bookmarks and folders, and lets you search bookmarks, passwords and recent URLs. Info on the beta at chrync.com/beta1-1/

nice
How the hell do I get my chrome bookmarks in the stock browser like my tablet has! I purchased the app chromemarks thinking it would do it. But it will only let me access my bookmarks not transfer them to the stock browser. So i have to open the app first then auto tranafered to the browser.
If someone can shine some light at this. It will be appreciated and thanked
Might be a part of the ics update.

I doubt the stock browser would do it, but a different browser can. Currently you can't use it on our phone because the browser requires ICS, but chrome for android allows syncing.
Even though I do use chrome on my desktop, I read about the firefox beta today and it has that feature between the firefox desktop browser, so I might switch back to firefox for now.
I'm not one to want to install the app, but does anyone notice the browser just freezes when navigating to facebook. It used to just do it to me occasionally when I would view a pic to comment... now it loads facebook up and just freezes as soon as it loads. Any ideas? Anyone know how to use the facebook app without having it run all the time? I've always used the browser because the app feels like such an invasion of privacy.

Download Chrome from the Market. You'll never look back.
Or Tinfoil for Facebook
Tinfoil for Facebook is for those users that require a Tinfoil Hat when logging in to Facebook. It creates a sandbox for Facebook's mobile site in order to protect your privacy and to avoid them tracking your browsing history. Requires INTERNET permissions, and if you are skeptic about it, feel free to check the source code here: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook
It also requires the "COARSE_LOCATION" permission. This is NOT used UNLESS you enable "Allow Check-ins" on the preferences, otherwise Check-ins won't work. This option is disabled by default.
Latest:
- Ability to upload pictures through the web interface (Newsfeed -> Photo -> Choose file). This is not the same as "picture sharing" since you can't do it from your favorite gallery application yet, that's coming soon.
- Jump to top
- Holo theme for Honeycomb/ICS devices.

I'm getting frustrated with the way Chrome bookmarks are set up. Can anyone tell me how to make something a bookmark on my mobile and desktop bookmarks simultaneously? Whenever I add it to one group, it removes it from the other. I currently found a compromise by having my mobile version show the desktop bookmarks, but most of them are sites I do not access on any device other than my laptop. This is a very poor design, so I'm sure someone has figured out a workaround by now.
Try an app called "cmarks" to sync chrome bookmark both way
hope this helps.

I have a similar issue, I use bookmarks, not some mobile and some desktop bookmarks. I access all my websites on both my phone, tablet and pc.
I would like my phone and tablet to stop showing me the Mobile Bookmarks as default and instead show me the Desktop Bookmarks, because I keep and manage all my bookmarks on my desktop only. Not having to manage multiple sets of bookmarks is why I sync in the first place .
Now, I might be daft since I have not figured this out by myself, but Google has not been much help to me either.
Anyone got at tip? I run Stock JB 4.1.2 with latest Chrome browser on Samsung Galaxy S2. My tablet is an ipad with Chrome browser.
Thanks!
