Is QR Code Scanner and Generator safe?

Medium risk

QR Code Scanner and Generator writes scanned QR text and a camera still into page-readable DOM on every site.

The extension runs a content script on all websites and injects its QR scanner interface into the page. When you scan a QR code from an image or webcam, the decoded QR text and a captured camera frame are placed in normal page DOM elements that scripts on the current site can read.
