Great tip - thanks for sharing @alicekeeler.com! It was so annoying when QR code creation got buried. Screenshot of where to find it (or use the link in Alice's replies):

Alice Keeler@alicekeeler.com · 2y ago

OMG this makes me so happy! When Chrome moved the QR code maker deep into the 3 dots menu... it was frustrating. Now I can choose to customize the Chrome toolbar and have QR code maker super close at hand.
