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.
