Pushbullet

Bringing together your devices, friends, and the things you care about.

What is Pushbullet?

Pushbullet is a Chrome extension enabling users to keep their devices connected for easy communication and sharing. It allows users to send and receive SMS messages from their computer, respond to app messages, and share files and links with ease. Beyond messaging and sharing, Pushbullet ensures users never miss notifications by mirroring them on connected devices and allows dismissal on any device. The extension also features channels for subscribing to notifications about topics of interest. With millions of users internationally, it is translated into over a dozen languages.

Perfekt, ich hoffe, die Erweiterung wird weiter von Chrome unterstützt.

I have used Pushbullet forever. Its saved me when I didn't have a phone etc. I hate that your removing it from approved extensions. The apps suggested as a replacement don't even fall in same category. I would recommend Mega, Signal, chat or the like at least in that type of category
