Find yourself a QR scanner that gives you a preview of what the code is before sending you to the open web.
I like this one, found it on F-droid. "QR Scanner (PFA)" https://github.com/SecUSo/privacy-friendly-qr-scanner
For example, the QR code [email protected] posted (it can scan from a saved picture too) shows me this;
Wait, do normie phone, just, instantly open an untrusted website? The camera on LineageOS has a "scan" mode where it shows the data of scanned QR codes before you make an action.
Yup, modern security at its finest. Normie's don't stand a chance.
I wish email clients would do something similar, especially for Formatted links.
Open up a big popup that shows the full sender address, the full link, and underline/color any numbers so its clear AMAZ0N.com is b.s.
FairEmail for Android shows a popup with the actual link.
They show you a tiny pop up with some of the URL. Not all of it. You click that and it goes right to it.
