How to share links between devices?

All developers must have faced this problem when you have opened a link or tab in your browser in your laptop but then suddenly due to any reason, you want to open it in your mobile or any other device. Will you write it manually???? Will you send it to someone on whatsapp and then tell them to ignore the message???? LOL. Will you mail it to yourself???? Will you save it on any note keeping website???? Or any other solution???? So i want to ask this community, what can be the best solution for this problem? If there isn't one, but you have the idea then also please share. :)

Firefox lets you sync tabs between devices. On top of that you can "send" tabs to other devices so that when you open Firefox on that other device it'll pop right up.

I tried doing the same but telegram and whatsapp are blocked on my work computer.
I use KeepNotes from Google. Updates are instantaneous and it works from any browser. Quite handy.

If you're using a mac and an iPhone, you could just copy in one and paste in the other. Apple ecosystem has a universal clipboard and it works seamlessly.

Gramvio Instagram profile pic download helps to see Instagram DP in zoomed-in format. You can watch and download profile pictures within a few seconds. Upon browsing the Instagram profile you will notice that the profile picture is a square photo that is not large enough. There is no built-in Instagram feature that could display the profile photo in large size.

I personally use notion to keep track of really important stuff.
But use chrome to bookmark quick reads and it will sync accross devices.

At organization level, one solution would be to use Go links

I've never used them but they're very interesting and look very useful.
