User reviews

Users appreciate the Fast QR Code Generator for its straightforward functionality to create QR codes from the current browser tab's URL, useful for quickly sharing links to mobile devices. However, common issues include limitations generating codes from tabs other than the main window, confusing recent interface changes, and lack of support for CJK characters. Users also desire smoother workflows such as automatic generation after pasting text and clearer add-on naming to avoid confusion.
Pros
  • Simple and easy to use for generating QR codes from the current tab's URL.
  • Allows quick copying of URL to QR-enabled phones.
  • Good functionality to create QR codes for URLs directly from the browser window.
Cons
  • Issues generating QR codes for tabs other than the main window; produces QR codes for the main tab instead of the active one in other windows.
  • Recent versions introduced a dropdown for URL selection that adds extra clicks and causes confusion.
  • Does not support CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters in QR codes.
  • Lack of immediate generation after pasting text; requires pressing Enter to generate.
  • Inconsistent naming of the add-on causing user confusion.
