But a QR is a URL. If visiting a certain URL pwns your device, complain to whoever made the device or browser.

Not that I like this thing at all. But using a QR isn’t exactly why it sucks.

It's a URL that you can't read. It's literally exactly what we tell people to not do to be secure. LOOK AT THE FUCKING URL BEFORE YOU VISIT THE SITE.
