Apple’s Handoff feature, introduced with OS X Yosemite (OS X 10.10) works similarly to iCloud Tabs, but it instead sends only your current open tab in Safari to the other device using Bluetooth. It’s more limited than iCloud Tabs, but quicker if you don’t need to select which tab to open on your other device.
Click the tabs icon in Safari.Click on the new Handoff icon that appears in left side of the Dock.
