Summary

Converts selected text to a QR code. Handy for when you want to get information from one device to another with just a camera.

Adds a single context menu item when text is selected. Clicking it pops up a new tab with the text that was encoded and the QR code.

Requires no special permissions to run or external servers to communicate with. Your QR codes stay completely private.

Relies heavily on davidshimjs's QRcode.js library: http://d-project.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/misc/qrcode/index.html and Jerome Etienne's jquery.qrcode.js: http://jeromeetienne.github.com/jquery-qrcode/
