Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension's clean design, easy usage, and useful features like history and context menu integration. However, many express concerns about recent updates that convert URLs into short links via external servers, compromising privacy and security. Additional issues include unwanted automatic tab openings, slower performance, and instability in QR code generation and scanning. Earlier versions' fully offline operation was favored but lost in the update, causing dissatisfaction among long-term users.
