PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
─────────────────────────────────────────
• tabs — needed to read the URL of the currently active tab.
No other tab data (title, history, cookies) is accessed.
• api.qrserver.com — the URL is sent to this public API solely
to generate the QR image displayed in the popup. No data is
stored or shared beyond this single request.

─────────────────────────────────────────
PRIVACY
─────────────────────────────────────────
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
The only network request made is to api.qrserver.com to render the QR image.
No analytics, no tracking, no third-party services beyond the QR API.

Source code is publicly available on GitHub (see developer website link).
