In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests activeTab, contextMenus, and storage. The activeTab permission allows it to read the current page URL and content only when you click its icon or use its right‑click menu — exactly what you’d expect for generating a QR code from a web address or selected text. contextMenus adds a convenient shortcut to the browser’s context menu, and storage saves your preferences locally. This is a minimal permission set, well within the norm for a QR code generator, and it cannot access websites or browsing data without your direct interaction.
As with any popular utility, be cautious of lookalike extensions older versions impersonating the real one; always verify the publisher matches what you intended. While the extension only accesses page data on demand, treat any active tab access with care and activate it only on sites you trust. The fact sheet shows a Maintenance & Ownership score of 100%, indicating the extension is actively maintained and receives updates — a positive sign for long‑term security. The weaker Publisher & Identity score of 60% suggests the developer’s background information could be more transparent, but this is balanced by the strong update history and a high community rating (4.9/5, overall grade A).
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.
What the store listing shows
Who's Behind QR Code Generator?
- Publisher https://high-qr-code-generator.com/
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.
