I Got Tired of Lame QR Scanners, So I Built My Own for Brave 🦁

I have been using Brave as my primary browser for the past few years. Honestly, I cant go back. The ad-less experience, the speed, the privacy, it just clicks. But there was always this one tiny thing that bugged me. Brave didn't have a proper, good-looking QR scanner extension. I searched the store, tried a few and walked away disappointed. Most of the QR scanner extensions out there are either clunky, filled with trackers or just have a terrible UI that looks like it hasn't been updated since 2010. And sure, I know the workaround. If I really need to scan a code, I could just copy the link and open Chrome, because Chrome has Google Lens built-in. But honestly? Using an entire AI-powered lens just to scan a plain QR code feels like using a flamethrower to light a candle. It's overkill. Plus, I am lazy enough that switching browsers for a simple scan feels like too much effort. So, I did what any developer with a bit of frustration would do: I coded my own solution.
