Making QR Codes in Edge

Further to my QR Code fun and games recently I’ve just discovered that you can get the Edge browser to generate QR codes for web sites. I think this feature is also available in Chrome because that is what Edge is now based on. This can be a neat way of sharing a complicated link. Rather than try to copy and paste it you can just take a picture. You need to enable it, as at the moment it is an experimental feature. Start by going to the address in Edge:

edge://flags/#sharing-qr-code-generator

Change the setting to Enabled, as you can see above. Now you can right click on a page that you want to share as a QR code and pick Create QR code for this page.

The QR code is created as an image you can photograph or download. I rather like the distinctive dot format, quite stylish.
