Handoff in iOS

Please implement Handoff in iOS to Mac Web Browser.
Sometimes I am using NewsBlur on my iPhone and want to continue reading either the page I'm viewing - or the NewsBlur web site on my Mac.

It's very simple to implement. See "Native App–to–Web Browser Handoff" on the page below:

https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/Handoff/A...

(You can also do it in reverse from the web site to the phone just as easily, but not as important for me)

Thanks

I would love to see handoff between iPad and iPhone as well since I often switch between those two devices. I also have another idea for the iPhone 6 Plus that I would also love for you to consider: https://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/... . Thank you!

I personally would love it, but only if Apple would allow Chrome and Firefox to use Handoff.

I've disabled handoff on my ios devices -- there's a bug apparently that prevents you from being able to sync with your osx device if it's enabled:

I'd love to see it  - there are probably many more users that would (not only 3), who didn't see this;)

richard4339, Apple has always encouraged Chrome and Firefox to use Handoff. The linked page tells their developed to add one line to their Info.plist. No code changes required.
