Is QR Code Generator safe?
QR Code Generator sends the active tab's full URL to api.t.ly when the popup opens to build a trackable QR link.
When you open the popup, the extension reads the current tab's URL and by default posts it, with the extension's API credentials, to the t.ly link shortener to create a trackable short link for the QR code. If this is disabled or the request fails, it falls back to generating the QR code locally. It also fetches banner and domain-list data from t.ly.

Same store account
10 other listings published from this account, 417k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed QR Code Generator contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
