QR scanner in the browser: privacy-friendly decoding

Scanning QR codes should be fast and trustworthy. In-browser decoding avoids uploading camera frames to unknown servers when the implementation is client-side—ideal for one-off checks of shipping labels or event badges.

Always verify the decoded URL before opening it; malicious QR stickers are a real threat vector.

Practical tips

Grant camera permission only on HTTPS pages.
Improve lighting and distance if detection flickers.
Prefer scanning images you trust; treat unknown codes like unknown links.
Copy the payload to notes if you need to audit it later.
