Unable to "send a tab to device" in reader view

When i right click on a tab in reader view, the option to send a tab is not there, and I have to get out of reader view to be able to send the tab to my phone. It would be nice to be able to send the tab directly.

I'm not sure if this is an intended behavior, or an oversight, in which case, how would I go about sending a feature request ?

In reader view you actually get a special about:reader?url page and not an http(s):// page and only the latter can be send to another device. So it is not possible to send the tab as long as you are in reader mode.

Thanks for the answer. Wouldn't it be possible to grab the url from the about:reader page and send that ?
