Earlier quoted context omitted.

yes, chrome on iOS is unsable because of this. I'd love to use Chrome more, but even lightweight js sites are tediously slow on chrome/ios

jailbreak + nitrous. problem solved. :)

Did that for a few weeks, and the Chrome performance boost was nice. I had to jail-unbreak though because stability was horrid for me, with applications constantly crashing :/

I use Chrome to Phone with my android phone. One click on a button sends the current url to my browser, or I can select any text, right click it and send it to my phone where it is then available on my clipboard to paste wherever. It also keeps a history of all this on my phone so I can recall what I sent last week. That feature alone is why I'll probably never own an iPhone. Edit: Still a cool extension you've got t…

Here's what I did to solve this problem. It works on all platforms/all phones/all browsers.

I created a document using TitanPad (http://titanpad.com/) -- any paste bin service will do. I then bookmarked that document on all my computers and phones. I called the bookmark 'Text Sync'.

Bonus if your favorite paste bin supports versioning. You can use secure Gists if you've got some private text to pass around.

can i get that in ascii please?

used qrencode and img2txt to get ascii.

I followed your lead, but I didn't like the way the img2txt looked. I just wanted black and white.

Then I saw it was unnecessary, qrencode provides ANSI support.

  echo foobar |qrencode -tANSI -o-     #grey, blech
So I threw some sed at it:

  echo foobar |qrencode -tANSI -o- | sed -e "s/\[47m/\[0\;5\;37\;47m/g" -e "s/\[40m/\[0\;34\;40m/g"
But then I looked again, and qrencode provides this to you too:

  echo foobar |qrencode -tANSI256 -o-  # pretty, yay
You can double the output size with:

  echo foobar |qrencode -tANSI256 -o-|sed -e "s/ /  /g;p"
Very pleasing! Might actually use qr codes now.
