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.

zoom in on the QR code in browser/file before using the extension. If the QR code is big enough, it works great
