Latest version
Version 3.5.0
Released May 1, 2026 - 109.89 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterFocus: Modern aesthetics, social integration, and cross-browser stability.- What’s New:
- Modern QR Engine Upgrade: Migrated from legacy to the powerful library.
- Full Emoji Support: Natively supports all modern emojis (surrogate pairs) and UTF-8 characters without crashing or rendering invalid codes.
- Dynamic Center Logos: Added a logo-branding system. Users can now add images to the center of QR codes via local upload, image URL, or a new "Quick-Preset" gallery.
- Auto-Branding Templates: QR codes now automatically apply the correct logo when a specific template is selected (e.g., selecting the WhatsApp template instantly applies the WhatsApp logo).
- Advanced Styling Suite: Expanded customization to include "Extra-Rounded," "Classy," and "Liquid" dot shapes, plus independent styling for the Eye Frame and Eye Center.
- Expanded Social Templates: New specialized templates for WhatsApp (with pre-filled messages), Telegram (@username support), FB Messenger, Instagram, X (Twitter), and YouTube.
- What’s Fixed:
- CORS Image Fetching: Implemented a background script "Proxy Fetcher" to bypass Same-Origin Policy (CORS) blocks when scanning images directly from external websites.
- Secure Download Logic: Replaced the library’s internal download system with a custom "Blob-to-Anchor" method to bypass Chrome and Firefox Extension security restrictions.
- Snipping Tool Sidebar Fix: Resolved an issue where the on-page scanner wouldn't trigger from the sidebar by targeting the
lastFocusedWindowinstead of the sidebar window itself. - Logo Override Logic: Fixed a bug where local file uploads weren't cleared when switching between different template logos.
- Firefox Sidebar Compatibility: Standardized
extApiand sidebar toggles to ensure the snipping tool and context menus work perfectly in Firefox. - What’s Removed:
- Legacy Library: Removed legacy QR library and over 150 lines of manual HTML5 Canvas drawing code, significantly reducing the extension's file size and complexity.
