  Sync your open browser tabs between your PC/Mac and your iPhone effortlessly—without needing a cloud account.
  
  TabSyncBridge is the perfect companion for anyone who uses Chrome, Edge, or Brave on their desktop, but relies on Safari on their iPhone. It bridges the gap between your computer and your mobile devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off. 
  
  Unlike other sync tools, TabSyncBridge is 100% private. It operates entirely over your own local Wi-Fi network. Your browsing data never touches a cloud server, and there are absolutely no trackers or analytics included.
  
  Key Benefits:
  • Cross-Platform Sync: Seamlessly view your desktop browser tabs on your iPhone, and your iPhone Safari tabs on your computer.
  • Remote Tab Control: Accidentally left a tab open on your work computer? View and securely close remote tabs directly from your phone.
  • Clutter-Free: It automatically filters out your current local tabs, so you only see what's currently open on your other devices.
  • Absolute Privacy: Zero cloud accounts required. No third-party relays. Your data never leaves your home network.
  
  Requirements:
  1. The TabSyncBridge iOS app installed on your iPhone.
  2. Both devices connected to the same private local Wi-Fi network.
  3. The lightweight desktop host installed on your computer.
  
  (Note: This extension is completely free and serves as the required companion to the TabSyncBridge iOS app).

  Sync your open browser tabs between your PC/Mac and your iPhone without needing a cloud account.
  
  TabSyncBridge is a Chrome browser companion for the TabSyncBridge iOS app. It helps you view and manage tabs across your own linked iPhone, iPad, Safari extension, and Chromium-family desktop browser profiles over your private local Wi-Fi network.
  
  Use TabSyncBridge to view tab titles from linked local devices, open remote tabs in Chrome, and send selected close-tab requests back to the device or browser profile that owns the tab.
  
  Key benefits:
  • Cross-platform sync: View your desktop browser tabs on your iPhone, and your iPhone Safari tabs on your computer.
  • Remote tab control: Open remote tabs locally or securely close selected tabs on the device that owns them.
  • Clutter-free: Filters out tabs from the same local Chrome profile, so you only see tabs from your other linked devices.
  • Private local networking: No cloud account, no third-party relay, no advertising SDK, and no analytics SDK.
  • Reconnect-friendly: Keeps the last known remote tab list while your local devices reconnect.
  
  Requirements:
  1. The TabSyncBridge iOS app installed on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Devices connected to the same private local Wi-Fi network.
  3. The lightweight TabSyncBridge desktop bridge installed on your computer.
  
  Privacy:
  Tab titles, tab URLs, device/profile labels, pairing state, and connection state are used only for local tab sync and remote tab control. Your tab sync data is not sent to a cloud sync service.
  
  This extension is free and serves as the required browser companion to the TabSyncBridge iOS app.
  
  What's New in 1.0.3:
  - Improved remote-tab action coordination between linked local devices.
  - Added in-app Settings with browser extension discovery links and setup reminders.
  - Reworked the Safari sync setup Back navigation and page indicator for a smoother onboarding flow.
