## Description

**Show QRCode** lets you instantly generate and edit QR codes for the current tab URL, any link, selected text, or a bookmark. Click the toolbar button to open a popup with a QR code pre-filled for the active page, or right-click a link, tab or selection and choose “Show QRCode” from the context menu. Modify visual and meta options like QR type and error correction directly in the popup before saving or sharing.

The extension uses minimal permissions: activeTab (to read the current URL or selected text), storage (to save settings), and menus (to add the context menu item). Optional bookmarks permission allows QR generation for bookmarks. Common FAQs: icon overlays aren’t supported (increase error correction and add icons yourself) and batch generation is planned for a future update; pull requests are welcome.
