Is QR Code Reader safe?
QR Code Reader loads its popup stylesheets from cdnjs.cloudflare.com and cdn.jsdelivr.net when the popup opens.
When you open the extension popup, it requests Font Awesome and Bootstrap stylesheets from public CDN hosts. Those resource requests can expose network metadata such as your IP address to the CDN providers, while the extension's popup script runs locally.
