The program is the opposite to Chrome2Phone app and works with any browser without special plugins.
When reading web pages on my android I would like sometimes to take a look at it on my computer when at home.
This is it! Open our site in a browser on your computer, scan displayed barcode on your phone and you can send pages from your phone to the browser. It will open up in new windows.
No registration required. Source available under open source GPL-2 licence.
Recent changes: I'm changing my android device, so this version adds ability to backup 'associated browser id' using Google cloud backup. When I restore all my apps on my new device the 'send to computer' will just work. (Available for Froyo/2.2 and newer devices only)
Works as described. Not bad if you constantly want to send URLs to your computer. For the odd use, you can just email the URL to yourself instead of using this app.
I have the same issue: Can't get it to work. Whenever I share a link, it just says "Please associate your device with a browser window before sharing". I can't open the link from the barcode scanner in anything other than the browser.

Works great, need http action extention This is a great app. I use it all the time when I'm using computers that I don't want to sign in on using my google account info. The only flaw with the app is I really, REALLY, wish it would also have the http mime type so that if I click on http:// urls in apps like texts or chat programs, send to computer would be an option to select among my web browsers. That way I can send it straight to the computer without having to first open it in chrome or firefox and then 'share' it, which half the time then I'm sharing the mobile version of the site instead of the normal version. Please add http mime type. With that this would be 5 stars.

Great. How about a chrome extension that acts like an always open background receiver.

Sorry but this hopeless...complicated to set up, and if you lose the page url you have to start over. I just don't have the patience...
