I never understood its usecase.

I used to use it when I was browsing the web at work. If I was reading something at the end of the day, or if it was something I didn't want to read at work, I'd give it a pocket bookmark. Then I could pull out my phone and finish right where I left off during my train commute.

Huh. Ok, cool. I just go to the address bar and enter QR to it, which triggers some search engines to generate a qr code for the following text. I, then, scan that code to my phone, and open the page on it to read later.
