Overview

Instantly decode any QR code image with a simple right-click. No need to pull out your phone! Google Chrome Right-click QR Code Reader is a powerful and convenient tool that adds a seamless QR code scanning utility directly into your browser's context menu.

Whether you're browsing articles, event tickets, or product pages, this extension allows you to interact with QR codes as easily as you would any other link.

Key Features
- Instant Right-Click Access: Simply right-click on any QR code image to bring up your scanning options.
1. Open as URL: If the QR code contains a web link, open it directly in a new tab. If not, display it instantly in an alert box.
