Send Link to Connected Devices from Brave on a Computer

Do you need to switch devices on continue work or research? Learn how to send links between connected devices using the Brave browser on your computer.

The Brave browser allows connecting two or more different devices running within Brave to sync and send the links bi-directionally.

Using the Brave browser on phone, we only need to scan the QR code or enter the sync chain code from the computer. The connected devices can also sync browsing data.

In this guide, we have shared the steps to connect Brave browsers and send links between them using the sync chain on the computer.
