About this extension

Felix Kaiser (fxkr) wrote this extension because he kept running into the same small friction: a URL open on a desktop, a phone sitting next to it, and no fast way to get from one to the other. Email-to-self works. Typing works. Neither is fast. A QR code is faster, but every browser-based QR generator he found at the time was sending the URL to a remote API to render the image. That felt unnecessary for something this simple.

The solution was to use Kazuhiko Arase's JavaScript QR code library, which runs entirely in the browser. The extension wraps that library in a Chrome popup: click the icon, get the code. The URL string is passed to the library locally, the canvas element draws the result, nothing goes over the network. The source has been public on GitHub since the beginning under an MIT license, so anyone who wants to verify that claim can read the code in about ten minutes.
