In-depth safety analysis
This extension can read and modify data on the active tab only when you click its icon, and it can store a small amount of data locally using the storage permission. For a QR code generator, this scope is normal and expected—it needs to access the current page's URL to encode it into a QR image.
General-purpose browser extensions like this often work by reading the URL you are viewing. A careful user should be aware that any extension with activeTab access can technically see the full address of the page you are on when invoked, which may include sensitive query parameters on some websites. It is wise to avoid generating QR codes for pages containing private tokens or session information.
Based on the provided fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy, where the developer has declared clear data handling practices and the permissions requested are minimal. The weakest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, which may reflect a less established publisher identity or infrequent update history, something users often weigh when deciding to install any extension.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
