Features & Capabilities

A quick and easy way to generate a QR code for sharing a page link, a note, or selection from a web page on your browser to your phone. No need for linking your phone to your computer in any way - simply select the content you wish to share, generate the QR code and scan it with your phone.

The extension offers 2 (two) similar, but separate functionalities:

Via the button next to the address bar -> gets the current tab's URL and converts it into a QR code.
Via the right-click menu, when you have something selected/highlighted (like text or a URL) -> gets the selection and converts it into a QR code.

Note: if you have something selected and you want to convert it to a QR code, you need to use the right-click menu (also known as context menu) to run it through the extension. The button next to the address bar will always get the current tab's URL, regardless if you have anything selected.

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

QR from selection requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
