Ok, but that type of ad gets folks used to scaning unknown QR codes.
A bad actor could post the same flyer with a QR code that loads a virus onto your phone.
jarinks@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet read qr links before opening them
@jarinks @mullvadnet
Most QR code links are encoded, or made into tiny links. So best practice would still be to not trust any links you get from a QR code.

@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet probably sure that a hardened browser is better than just not scanning any qrs
@jarinks @mullvadnet
> hardened browser
What is that?
There is no QR code which I need to scan. Especially random ones off a sticker on a pole.
@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet secure firefox fork with containers and proxies and other widgets
and I always check the url for redirects before scanning it
on modern phonws, "clicking a link" wont immediately install 3018 viruses and your browser shouldnt even have the "Install Unknown Apps" perm
