Microsoft teaches Edge how to create QR codes from web addresses

Ahead of the official launch of the new Edge in January, Microsoft continues to expand the functionality of the browser, which the company intends deploy forcibly for all users. One of the new features has become support for custom QR codes, which can be used to send links to web pages to users.

A similar possibility is already declared in Google Chrome, at the moment experts from Redmond are testing it on the Canary update channel, but it is expected that it will be available in all editions even before the official release.

After activation, the corresponding option will appear in the address bar. For some, the feature is enabled by default, while others need to go to edge://flags and enable the Enable sharing page via QR Code flag there, and then restart the browser for the changes to take effect.

Scanning a QR code allows you to navigate to sites faster without manually entering the URL.
