Is right-click QRcode reader safe?

Low risk

right-click QRcode reader decodes a QR image locally, then opens the decoded text as a new-tab URL after a single OK prompt.

When you right-click an image (or drag-select a screen region), the extension reads the QR code on-device using a bundled decoder and never sends the image or result to any server. The decoded string is shown in a prompt(); clicking OK passes it straight to chrome.tabs.create as a URL with no scheme allowlist or domain check, so a crafted QR code can open an arbitrary http(s) page. Chrome blocks javascript:/chrome: URLs, but phishing or other web destinations open freely.
