QR Hover Reader

Hover over a QR code to read it, or open its link from the context menu.

QR Hover Reader lets you view the contents of QR codes on webpages without using your phone. Hover over a QR code and its contents will appear beside it. If it contains a web link, you can open it in a new tab using the card or the right-click menu. You can also copy plain text. The card disappears as soon as the pointer leaves both the QR code and the card. The extension can recognize QR codes in common webpage images, canvases, and background images. Its interface automatically follows your Chrome display language. QR codes are decoded locally in your browser. Results are not uploaded to the developer or to a third-party decoding service. For cross-origin images that cannot be read directly, the extension may request the image again from its original source. Your browser may send that site’s existing cookies according to its settings. Some QR codes may not be readable because of image quality, website restrictions, or browser protections. The extension cannot run on Chrome internal pages or Chrome Web Store pages.
