Extension summary

BeamTab is a Chrome extension that lets you "beam" your current tab to your other Chrome browsers. Unlike extensions like Pushbullet, it doesn't beam the tab to all of your Chrome devices but it lets you choose the device you want to send it to.

BeamTab autogenerates your devices' names using some weird animal names, which you can change at any time by visiting the Options page.

You can also beam tabs to your friends! Just send your share link and get the share link of your friends and start beaming pages with each other!
