Recently, Chrome rolled out a new feature that allows QR code-based sharing. The generated QR code will encode the page URL.
This feature enables as to quickly transfer any URL from the desktop computer to a mobile device without actually to type it manually or without syncing the web browser accounts. A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. This feature is new and is available starting with the Google Chrome version 88.
