This is a (Firefox) Web Extension, which makes it possible to generate a QR code from any website.
In contrast to many other add-ons, which use Google Web APIs for that, this add-on works completely offline. This QR code generator puts your privacy first!
Effectively, the add-on prevents any web connection for itself, so it does never contact the web. Thanks to the linked manifest.json you can also easily verify, that this claim is true. It works offline! Always.
It has a radically simple, yet powerful interface, allowing you to tweak many things in the settings, but being lightweight when you use it. A powerful usability improvement is the feature to just resize the QR code with your mouse by dragging and dropping. It's lightweight size also make it fast and easy to install – even on mobile connections.
It is inspired by the old Offline QR code generator add-on for Firefox 56 and lower. This extension only works with modern Firefox versions.
