Someone else on HN earlier posted their QR-code scanning Android app[1], which I've been using because it doesn't automatically follow URLs but displays the raw text of the QR code. It's been helpful for me, especially when I've been setting up QR codes for a new wireless router.

If you want something available on F-Droid check out https://f-droid.org/packages/com.example.barcodescanner

God F-Droid is amazing!

Really wish there was an F-Droid equivalent for iOS.

But Apple probably wouldn't like that.

Ouch. I, on the other hand, would not trust an appId from the example.com domain.

Why? I'm not an Android dev but the appId just identifies an app right?

If the author doesn't have a domain, what should they do instead?

My Samsung Galaxy S9 scans QR code if I point default camera app to a QR code. It doesn't open it by default, but shows a link I can tap on. Within settings you can disable QR scanning too if you like.

I've been using Firefox as a QR code reader, as it too doesn't follow the link, plus it's already there on my home screen.
