QRBookmarklet.js

//Opens a window with a QR code for either selected text on the page or the current page URL if no text is selected.
//Bookmarklet-ify it by removing whitespace and prepending javascript:
//Like so: javascript:(function ....)()

(function(window, document, undefined) {
    try {
        var selectedText = document.getSelection().toString();
        if (selectedText === '') {
            selectedText = window.location.href;
        }
        if (selectedText !== '') {
            var baseQRUrl = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl=' + encodeURIComponent(selectedText);
            window.open(baseQRUrl, '_blank', 'width=400,height=400');
        }
    } catch (e) {
    }
})(window, document);

Chrome now has this functionality built in, FYI.

True, thank you, but I still use this bookmarklet as it's already a part of my workflow. Plus it's cross-browser, whereas Chrome's implementation has not trickled down to the Chromium-based browsers yet at this time (just checked Microsoft Edge for Android). I'm a Firefox user myself and it seems not native to that browser yet.
