Did not return URL for the site, when selecting tab in Chrome, or after uploading saved image file. No troubleshooting suggestions.

at least in this moment, very disappointing, sorry. I´ve tried many browsers in none of then the scan with camera feature worked. This and many other extensions that supposedly do qrcode reading have the exact same layout and problem... It asks for permission in the browser and when granted they just show a black square...

It is worthless on my computer. I tell it to look at the tab, only to have an inert picture of the QR code page on the QR Code Reader window. I am tired of user interfaces that only make sense in the context of the underlying code or designed by master Easter egg hunters who are clueless as to how normies see the screen or that don't work because my computer has been obsoleted by Macroshaft because I am one operating system away from the next operating system that does not download because my computer is unworthy by being a bit too old.

Installed to scan a PDF in the current tab. Didn't find a QR code.

Should remember most recent option (current tab, image, camera) as if you're only using it for Current Tab for example, you'd want to keep doing that. It doesn't recognize QR codes from the screen grab.

Can't switch camera. It's stuck on a virtual camera driver (Canon EOS) and I can't use my webcam to scan a QR code.
