## Description

**Context QR** is a handy Chrome extension that adds a context menu item to recognize QR codes embedded in images on any webpage. When you right-click an image, you can choose to scan it for a QR code. Upon successful detection, the QR code content is automatically copied to your clipboard and a notification confirms the action.

Built using the WebExtension API, Context QR leverages the NPM port of Lazarsoft's reliable qrcode reader for accurate QR code scanning. It enhances productivity by streamlining access to QR information without needing external apps or tools. Whether you encounter QR codes embedded in graphics or screenshots, Context QR makes extracting the encoded data effortless and efficient.
