  • pushbullet website
    I can't access anymore the pushbullet.com from my computer. I tried with chrome, firefox. Source: 10 months ago
  • A couple questions about the Firefox extension
    Ah I see. Opening a tab isn't a problem, it's just that it opens pushbullet.com instead of https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices to see the text directly. I came up with a workaround with the "Redirector" extension that replaces the url. Source: 10 months ago
  • Not running on PC?
    Same issue. I have uninstalled (Revo) and installed 5 times and still can't get Pushbullet to work. Now it seems I have to got to pushbullet.com to read and send SMS, instead of doing it local on my PC with Windows 10. Seems to have happened in last 2 days. I can use it via internet access, but what happened to local functionality??? Source: 12 months ago
  • Pushbullet.com synching SMS but Chrome extension is not.
    I go to the pushbullet.com web site and they are all there as they should be. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Large chunks of history missing, File push not possible anymore
    Further when I go to pushbullet.com it doesn't show my recent devices. Although it does show it to me over the pushbullet icon in the toolbar. There are large gaps in my push history on pushbullet.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
