User reviews

Most user reviews indicate that the 'QR Code Generator' Chrome extension often does not work or is broken, leading to frustration. Users also highlight missing features like a close button and the inability to create new QR codes on the fly. The camera functionality is unreliable, and URL detection to open links is absent, with the extension opening new tabs unnecessarily. A few users find it simple and appreciate features such as SVG downloads, but the majority report usability and compatibility issues.

Depois de alguns minutos lendo instruções sobre como usar mas sem conseguir achar a página que de fato cria o QR code, não tenho escolha senão remover.

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.

QR Code Generator requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
