iCloud Passwords Chrome Extension is broken

Hi, I'm a web developer and in past few days I noticed strange behavior of my browser Brave 1.79.123. on macOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74). Whenever I hover with mouse over any IMG element on any website, the image is downloaded again. It's certainly not intended behavior and I've traced the root cause of this behavior to iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome (and Chromium based). Inside the extension is JavaScript function called "scanElementForQRCode" and it initiates request on every mouseenter event on IMG element. It is doing so even on this site while hovering on right top avatar image.

Steps to reproduce:

Install iCloud Passwords Chrome Extension and authorize

Open Developer Tool in Chrome (or Chromium based browser)

Open tab Network

Hover your mouse on any IMG (image) element within the opened website

What should happen:

No new request should appear with initiator "content_script.js" (this belongs to the extension).

What happens:

New request to the image source is sent unnecessarily downloading image again.
