User Reviews
Tab2QR is praised as a simple, useful Firefox add-on that generates customizable QR codes and saves them as SVGs. Users appreciate its straightforward functionality and utility. However, concerns arise over increased permissions in recent versions, which some users find excessive. There are also requests for better icon placement in the browser UI and the addition of a direct QR code image saving feature. Overall, it effectively serves users looking to share URLs via QR codes but faces feedback on permission usage and UI improvements. Pros
- Can generate custom content QR codes and save them as SVG files.
- Simple and effective at generating QR codes.
- Is recognized as a useful and practical add-on.
- Works as described and fulfills its main function.
- Helps in sharing URLs via QR codes easily.
Cons
- Newer versions require additional browser permissions (clipboard, downloads/history), causing privacy concerns.
- Some users want the icon to appear in the address bar instead of the toolbar to save space.
- Lack of a built-in feature to save QR code images directly was noted.

Is Tab2QR Safe?
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.
Tab2QR 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 Add-ons Store, 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.
Tab2QR has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
