User reviews

Users appreciate the Tab QR code add-on for its simplicity, minimalism, and one-click functionality to generate page QR codes efficiently. The main criticism centers around the QR code size not adjusting for longer URLs, which causes scanning issues. Some users also mentioned the native QR code feature now available in Edge, but overall, the add-on is highly regarded for being straightforward, effective, and free of unnecessary features.

Pros

Extremely simple and minimalist design with no unnecessary features or advertisements.
Easy and quick to generate QR codes for the current page with a single click.
Efficient and convenient for sharing web pages to mobile devices.
High user satisfaction with the add-on being highly praised for meeting expectations.

Cons

QR code size is sometimes too small for long URLs, causing scanning difficulties.
Lack of ability to resize or auto-adjust the QR code display window, making some codes appear too dense or cluttered.
Some users noted that Microsoft Edge now has built-in QR code generation, which might reduce this add-on's uniqueness.

Recent reviews

Making it resizable is sorely needed. Otherwise there's nothing to complain about.
