Proposal

I'm proposing to add QR Code scanner to lightning browser. QR Code is abbreviated from (Quick Response Code) which is a two-dimensional barcode consisting of a black and white pixel pattern which allows to encode up to a few hundred characters. It's typically used for storing URLs or other information for reading by the camera on a smartphone. Today's smartphones and tablets are able to recognize and decode them very fast.

Mockups / Examples

This is an example of where the mentioned feature should be implemented

Benefits

Adding a QR code scanner to lightning browser will give it more recognition amongst all other browser either open sourced or not. QR scanner is used to scan QR code which has url decoded in it. Presently, QR code is mostly used in the IT system which these feature will make it easier to be used. Some site has similar url which might confuse user, and sites are cloned by fraudsters to scam people of their online stuffs which make the real sites have a QR code for users to scan and visit them, lightning browser having this feature makes users scan and visit sites safely.
