Review Summary

Users find the QR Code Reader extension useful and effective for scanning QR codes, especially with a webcam, appreciating its privacy-conscious permission requests and additional features like history. However, multiple users note the interface can be confusing, scanning results require manual copying for links, and the window behavior is inconvenient. Several reviews also mention it does not work reliably for all users.

Pros

  • Does not require excessive permissions, respects user privacy.
  • Provides text output from QR codes effectively when website doesn't decode them.
  • Includes useful features like history and supports different code types.
  • Works on multiple platforms including Android with Kiwi browser.

Cons

  • Interface is somewhat confusing and not user-friendly for new users.
  • Does not handle scanned links automatically; users must copy and paste manually.

  • Fails to work properly for some users, reported as not working in multiple reviews.
