<p>Following Google Chrome, the new Microsoft Edge now also offers the capability to generate QR code from an opened URL. The generated QR code that&#8217;s been encoded from the URL can be read using any compatible device. Sharing URLs between devices using the QR codes will be much faster now.</p>

<p>The <strong>QR code</strong> generator is now available for <strong>Canary Channel 84.0.493.0</strong></p>

<p>Open <strong>Microsoft Edge</strong> and navigate to the following page <strong>edge://flags</strong></p>
<p>Now search for the <strong>Enable sharing page via QR Code</strong> flag and from the drop-down list set it to <strong>Enabled</strong>.</p>
