Two routes: with the same Google Account, Send to your devices opens the tab in Chrome; a QR code lets another person scan the page with a camera.
Illustration of the topic.

Sign in to Chrome with the same Google Account on your computer and phone. On the computer, open the tab, select More, then Cast, save and share, then Send to your devices. Choose your phone. You can also right-click the tab or page and select Send to your devices.

Where to look if there is no alert

Chrome opens the tab automatically on the device you choose. If no alert appears, look in Chrome on the selected phone. Google says the phone notification appears when notifications are turned on, so a missing alert alone does not tell you whether the tab arrived. Google’s computer instructions give no further recovery steps if you cannot find it there.

Share by QR code

To let someone else scan the page, select More, then Cast, save and share, then Create QR code. They can scan it with another device’s camera.
