Quote:Since it’s based on the Chromium engine, the same one that powers Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge often receives the same functionality as Google’s app.
 
And living proof is the QR code generator, which is already available in Google Chrome and landed in Microsoft Edge as part of the latest Canary update.
 
The purpose of the QR code generator is as easy as it could be. It allows the share of links from a PC to a mobile device much easier, as it creates a QR code for a specific page which you can then scan with your mobile phone’s camera to quickly navigate to the same address.
 
It goes without saying there are several scenarios with such a feature comes in handy, such as for internal links or more complex pages where security and privacy are top priorities. So administrators can just share a QR code with someone that needs to navigate to a specific page quickly without the need for other apps.
