Fantastic QR Code Extension! The way it works so seamlessly is outstanding and definitely serves more than needed features.

As long as the QR code is big enough in the screen, it works well! Adding an option when it doesn't find QR codes to drag a window around the part of the screen of interest would likely solve this issue.
