Privacy & Security First (Zero Permissions) Google and users care about privacy, and so do we. - Zero Special Permissions Required: This extension requests NO special browser permissions (no "tabs" permission, no browsing history access, no background tracking). - On-Demand Camera Access Only: Camera permission is requested strictly via standard browser APIs when you click "Start camera", exclusively to scan codes locally in memory. - 100% Offline Processing: All QR generation and barcode decoding occur locally via client-side JavaScript. No external network requests, no telemetries, no trackers, and no analytics. Key Features - Single-Tab Smart Focus: Clicking the toolbar icon brings your existing QR tab to the front instead of cluttering your browser with duplicate tabs. - Multilingual Support: Built-in localization automatically adapting to your language (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese), with an intuitive native language switcher. - Vector & Raster Export: Download in crisp scalable SVG or high-resolution PNG, or copy content directly to the clipboard. - Automatic Error Correction: Automatically calculates the optimal version and error-correction level for guaranteed readability. - Fully Accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA): Optimized for keyboard navigation, screen readers (skip links, ARIA landmarks), high-contrast ratios, and touch targets (44px+).
