## Description

This browser add-on allows users to quickly generate QR codes from these sources:
<ul><li>Current URL: Converts the active tab's address for easy mobile access.</li><li>Selected Text: Encodes highlighted text (like notes or snippets) directly.</li><li>Hyperlinks: Generates a code for any linked URL via the context menu.</li></ul>
<strong>Captured links/text are all locally processed in your machine. No phone-home functionalities. Not now, not ever.</strong>

A page action button and a menu button (upon right-clicking selected text/link) are added. Upon activation, the generated code appears in a popup window.
