Join on Firefox And Opera - Try It Now Sneak Peek
Added 2019-06-28 12:28:10 +0000 UTCThis is a special day. :)
I've been trying my best to get Join to work on Firefox and Opera, but for a long time it seemed hopeless.
I've finally been able to get a something working! It's still far from finished, but basic functionality is there. :)
Basically, if you open the Join web page on a compatible browser, the browser will register itself as a Join device and you can then normally push stuff to it, just like you would to any other Join device! Check out the demo video above!
To try this out:
- Open this website (your browser should register itself as a device, if compatible)
- Install this version of the Android app
- Open the app > Settings > Pushes > Click Open Links Automatically 8 times. That'll switch the app to tests server (if you want to go back to the normal server, repeat the 8 click process)
- On your browser you should now also see your Android device
- Try to push something from your phone to your browser and see how that works :)
Note: only Note To Self, Clipboard and URL pushes are currently supported
Let me know how it works for you if you can :)

And Firefox is the one I want supported most. I look forward to when I can stop using Chrome!

2019-07-02 14:44:47 +0000 UTCYes, this is great. I would love to move completely to Firefox. I was able to send to and from my Pixel and Firefox on two computers. Not supporting encryption yet. I was able to get it to work on Chrome but I did not prompt me for browser name on Vivaldi and Edge DEV browsers. Pushes from those browsers worked but they didn't show as devices on other browsers. On "old" Edge browser I get error in registration process "Caught[via 'error' event]: ''BroadcastChannel' is not defined' from https://testsjoaomgcd.appspot.com/fcm.js:292"
