Google Chrome already allows you to easily share webpages among your own devices. But, what if you want to share a webpage with someone else? I know, you can simply copy and paste a link to share it with your friend. Google Chrome, however, has been working on a new QR code-based sharing feature for some time now. And now, this feature has gone live in the latest Chrome Canary build.
Note: I tried out this feature on Google Chrome Canary (build # 84.0.4117.2) on a Windows 10 machine and it worked fine.
- In the search bar on the Chrome flags page, type “QR” and enable the “#sharing-qr-code-generator” flag from the drop-down next to it.
First reported by Android Police, this feature has been in the works for a few months now. It was first spotted back in December but it wasn’t working back then. Now, it is but it is still not perfect. You can view QR codes and scan them using your phone – via any QR code scanner or Google Lens.
