Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Just a QR Code

Libre Office is also free and includes a QR code and barcode generator too! This saved me from having to hunt down a standalone generator that wasn't completely sketchy when I needed a barcode for some freelance work. Plus it can replace Microsoft Office.

@EverydayMoggie @gabe_sky I love libre office. Sadly their sheets (excel) is just not great compared to MS Excel.so much so that a few years ago I bought a stand alone excel license even for personal use.
