User reviews

Screen QR Reader is appreciated for its ability to read QR codes directly from the screen without invasive permissions or image uploads, and is useful for processing QR codes on invoices. However, it may not work for some users unless the QR code is sufficiently zoomed and centered. Several users report it not opening or functioning, indicating inconsistent reliability.

Pros

Reads QR codes directly from the screen without requiring image upload.
Does not ask for unnecessary or invasive permissions.
Helpful for reading QR codes on invoices and service notes when zoomed in.
Allows completing QR code reading on PC without needing a smartphone.
Works well when QR code is sufficiently large and centered on screen.

Cons

Does not work or open for some users.
Requires zooming in and positioning the QR code centrally for better reading accuracy.
Some users are unable to get any response or functionality from the extension.

Recent reviews

The only extension that actually read the on screen QR. The others with better review forced you to saved the QR code as an image and upload to the app. This is much better and it didn't ask for any weird permission (another QR reader app asked for your browser history - WTH?)

Does not work.

Funciona bem. Uso pra ler qr codes de notas fiscais de serviços. A dica é dar o zoom máximo no qr code e depois clicar na ferramenta. Às vezes precisa mexer um pouco na posição, quanto mais centralizado na tela, melhor.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Screen QR Reader does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
