Since when is this a thing?

I have to say I like it, but I didn't think it was a thing!

I had my iPad sitting in front of my Mac Mini screen, and opened a page in desktop Chrome 70.0.3538.77

I was surprised to notice the little "screen" icon pop-up in the upper right corner of Safari. Sure enough, it's the page that I opened in desktop Chrome!

I did some Google searches, and found some old jailbreak, as well as that desktop Chrome now can use handoff to handoff to iOS Chrome.

But never noticed this between Chrome desktop and iOS Safari before!

I prefer Chrome on desktop, but no interest is messing with it on iOS. So, this is a good thing for me. On the occasions when I'd like to do this in the past (most often reading some technical documentation) I would open in Safari on desktop (then go read on iPad).

Mojave 10.14.1
Chrome 70.0.3538.77
iOS 12.1
