Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…
Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.
Boom! :)

The problem is, I don't have access to a camera there all the time.
Usually I take the route of syncing via notes app or something and delete the link later.

One of the features is sending and receiving URLs between your devices.

(That’s in Ungoogled Chromium, by the way, so apparently it works there also.)
