Fix your grammar. I felt like punching through the monitor while reading the list.
"apps" is plural.
"app" is singular.
Use "app" if you're referring to a single app.
eg. "This is an excellent app."
Use "apps" if referring to multiple apps.
eg. "Here is a list of apps."

So I find a news article I'd like to read but I don't have time to read it. Is there an app I could install on my phone and my computer to make it easy to me to just push this site to my phone? Ideally I would click a button in my browser and it would cause the browser on my phone to automatically open and display the website I want to read.
Any ideas?
Use a qr code generator to turn the url to a qr code and scan it with your phone?
I think chrome may also have something that accomplishes this. Something about syncing across platforms? Someone illuminate for me.

Ya I usually QR code it. But if you have Chrome beta you can see all the tabs you have opened on other devices and open the tabs on your phone/tablet
Chrome to phone app
Chrome - Chrome to phone extension
Firefox - Fox to phone extension
The best way is to use Pocket(formerly Read It Later, also the name of FF extension). It is universal, Firefox, Chrome, Any android browser(share button) etc. I prefer it to Chrome to Phone.
Firefox has it, once desktop and mobile versions are synchronized.
You open mobile version, you find same bookmarks and open tabs.

This is the best, I have tried them all. I have Pocket on my phone, kindle fire, laptop, and work computer.
Maxthon browser has Cloud Push which is exactly what I was picturing when I asked this question. I didn't really want all my tabs to be synced and I didn't want to deal with add-ons , plugins, or 3rd party apps. I'll install Maxthon on each device and just use that. I like the interface better than any other browser so I'd be switching to it even without this feature.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Much appreciated.
Just to throw another suggestion out there:

Many of your linked apps, unfortunately, are not in active development.
Lightweight apps are preferred because they indicate efficient coding, and also unlikely to bundle unwanted stuff.
I love simple and minimalist apps, but if they are too basic, I would look elsewhere.

Best Android Apps...
The list presented here is a collection of excellent apps (at the time of writing this) that excel in what they do (and supposed to do). They may or may not fit into the requirements of everyone perfectly. So choose whatever works best for you...

Karma Firewall is a fav about 5.1 mb.

Some apps can be very compact, others not.
ApkExport is about 313 kg and it's sublime.
Karma Firewall is a fav about 5.1 mb. Uses almost no battery.
PDMDM package disabler is at 5.86 mb and without it this 10+ be unusable.
Poweramp is weighing in at a hefty 60 mb.
It's versatility, configurability, playlists, audio processing capabilities and ease of backup/restore blow me away. I continue to find new, useful features and it's rock solid stable.
All time favorite HD music player.
Sometimes you need to trade off size for functionality/availability.
Could Poweramp be smaller? No doubt but nothing else comes close to it and it isn't a bad behaving apk with relatively low battery usage.
@blackhawk
Thanks for the apps can you please give their play store links.
Also APK export I found on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ses.app.apkexport does not have Split APKs support.
I can't find the PDMDM.
Thanks

What is special about APK Export? It isn't under active development. Plus what it says it can do, is something most file managers can also do.
Check Alpha Backup Pro.
It was buggy on Android 11 the last time I tried, but the app has received several updates since then.

Some apps can be very compact, others not.
ApkExport is about 313 kg and it's sublime.
Karma Firewall is a fav about 5.1 mb. Uses almost no battery.
PDMDM package disabler is at 5.86 mb and without it this 10+ be unusable.
Poweramp is weighing in at a hefty 60 mb.
It's versatility, configurability, playlists, audio processing capabilities and ease of backup/restore blow me away. I continue to find new, useful features and it's rock solid stable.
All time favorite HD music player.
Sometimes you need to trade off size for functionality/availability.
Could Poweramp be smaller? No doubt but nothing else comes close to it and it isn't a bad behaving apk with relatively low battery usage.

When it comes to Playlists, nothing beats PlayerPro! This app also keeps a backup of your system playlists, so in case they go missing/ corrupt, they will be safely (automatically) restored.

Thanks for the apps can you please give their play store links.
Also APK export I found on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ses.app.apkexport does not have Split APKs support.
I can't find the PDMDM.
Thanks

ApkExport saves copies of all my apks. I've done a reload using all saved apps by it and no Playstore. It works every time for me.
Split apks you mean like the Good Lock family or MiX? Saves them too.
Zero ads, complete freeware... good as it gets.

Manage and extract your apps.

It's hard to find PD MDM sometimes; Google search deliberately screws with it.

Split APKs are apps which came with multiple APKs for example install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ng_labs.agecalculator and extract the apk, uninstall the app and try install from apk. You can't.

Interesting, that's the same issue I had with other similar export apks until this one.
Not sure but I have 72 user apks backed up that successfully restored on the last reload. I'm running on Pie. It could be more Q crap or a misconfiguration.
On my SD card I simply punch the apk and it loads.

Where does this app show that info (like which app is part of a bundle)?
I don't backup using this, so not sure.
I use AppChecker which displays app info neatly, with a mark on those that are part of a bundle.
Also, will APKs (which are part of a bundle) extracted using the usual method with a file manager surely NOT be restored unless the whole bundle is backed up?

In 'Backup' tab, after you select destination directory, it will show bundled apps by default.

Yes. We have to use the app I have given to backup and install those.
Added some browsers, music players, video players, calculators to the list.
