What is QR URL?
"QR URL" is a Chrome extension designed for easy URL sharing. It generates a QR Code for the active tab's URL, which can be scanned with a mobile device. This eliminates the need for Chrome-to-phone or similar services. It also provides a context menu feature enabling the creation of QR codes from any text selected on a webpage and EAN8 Barcodes, accommodating up to 8 numerical characters, inclusive of the checksum digit.
