User reviews

Users find the Offline QR Code Generator easy to use, efficient, and reliable for quickly creating QR codes offline within Firefox. However, multiple users report the intrusive text pop-ups that disrupt the window layout, and they desire a customizable shortcut key rather than the default Ctrl+Shift+F10, which is hard to remember. Lack of clear instructions causes confusion for some users. Additionally, generating QR codes for larger amounts of text sometimes results in blurry and unreadable images. Several users also mention frequent rating requests cluttering the interface.

Pros

Easy to use and efficient QR code generation.
Generates QR codes offline using client-side JavaScript, ensuring privacy and speed.
Accessible through toolbar or shortcut, supporting quick access.
Simple and effective user interface.
Works well and reliably without major bugs.

Cons

Text pop-ups interfere with the QR code window's layout and cause inconsistency.
Shortcut keys are not customizable and can be difficult to remember (default Ctrl+Shift+F10).
No clear or intuitive instructions on how to trigger or use the generator, leading to user confusion.
Issues with QR code image quality and size when generating larger or longer texts; images can become blurry and unreadable.
Adds clutter to the UI by frequently requesting users for ratings.

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.

Offline QR Code Generator does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Offline QR Code Generator is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
