User Reviews

Users praise FxQRL for offline, private QR generation with a simple, no-bloat interface and no permissions. The QR appears as an overlay and can be copied or saved via right-click. Some reviewers note scanning issues that benefit from a white border on dark pages, and there are requests for context-menu integration to generate from selected text and for size controls. Overall, it’s fast, lightweight, and privacy-preserving, with useful features and a few accessibility/customization requests.

Pros

Works offline / self-contained (uses an included JS library, no web service)
Privacy-friendly: does not send data anywhere
Lightweight, no bloat, open source
Overlay QR code on the page with easy right-click to copy or save
No permissions required

Cons

White border requirement for scanning by some readers/themes (update helped but not universal)
Lacks context-menu or selected-text to generate a QR (missing feature)
No easy way to resize or adjust the QR code size

Recent reviews

Simple and works well. You can right-click on the QR code to copy or save it too.

Is FxQRL - URL to QR code Safe?

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.

FxQRL - URL to QR code does not require any sensitive permissions.
