A browser extension to send pages and content from your browser to connected KDE Connect devices.
A Chrome (and compatible) browser extension to send pages and content from your browser to connected KDE Connect devices, via browser action or context menu.
Update: As of v0.1.0 the browser extension and installer now also supports Firefox.
This extension relies on a Native Messaging Host to communicate with KDE Connect devices. As a result, installation is a little more involved than stand-alone extensions.
Download the latest release of the host application.
Close your browser
Extract the host application anywhere, open a terminal and run the install command:
./kdeconnect-chrome-extension -install
It will prompt you to select the browser you wish to install for, use Space
to select your browser(s), and Enter
to accept. The installer will deploy
itself to the appropriate location for the selected browser.
If prompted for an extension ID, just hit Enter
to continue, unless you
are a developer.
If you wish to deploy system-wide, rather than for the current user, simply run as root:
sudo ./kdeconnect-chrome-extension -install
Start your browser.
Install the extension from the Chome Web Store or Mozilla Add-ons.
Done
Currently only Linux amd64 builds are produced, however please file an issue if you would like other operating systems or architectures, as the host should run anywhere.
Updates to the extension will be delivered automatically via the Chrome Store. If you are prompted to upgrade the host application, follow these instructions.
