I want to share my family tree but don't want other people to edit it by any means. Is there a setting for it?

After you click "Share" in the upper right, notice that there is a checkbox under the "Extra message (optional)" field. Uncheck that box and then the person who gets the link will only be able to view the family tree.

I know about that but I dont want to invite people one by one. I want to share by the link but dont want anyone else to be able to make any changes. Is it possible ?
From that same screen, after you uncheck the "Allow XXX to edit family", you can copy the link a little bit lower on the left sidebar and send it to however many people you'd like. Note that the family will be centered on whichever family member you have selected when you click the "Share" button. It might be useful to change an ancestor from dead to alive temporarily so that you can share from that common ancestor if you don't have someone more appropriate to use to share from.
