Review summary

Users find the JavaScript QR Code add-on simple, lightweight, and functional for generating QR codes from any page text or link with resizing options. However, multiple reviews expressed privacy concerns because it uses an external Google Charts API without clear disclosure, causing data to be sent externally. Additionally, users highlight missing transparency about source code availability and lack of update or support information.

Pros

Simple and effective QR code generation from any text or link on the page.
Lightweight and easy to use extension.
Allows resizing of QR codes.
Generates QR codes not limited to current page URL.

Cons

Uses an external service (Google Charts API) to generate QR codes, causing privacy concerns.
Lack of disclosure about using an external service in the add-on description.
No source code link provided despite being under GPL3.0 license.
No release notes or support links available.

2018-10-14	Kh*****	I have found another service that can generate QR code, and the provider guarenteed that "Your QR code data is encrypted during transmission (TLS/SSL) and not stored": http://goqr.me/api/ Is it possible to integrate into your extension?
