There are extensions for it in the stores, but better extensions or apps to traduce short URLs and QR codes (I hate this shit) into clear URLs, to avoid surprises.

That's not the point. They want me to connect with a phone and do all kinds of weird things with that information.

I made an offline QR decoder to deal with that nonsense, still have to go to some linkexpander website. All of HTML must be recreated with huge javascript libraries, but the URL has to be in a tiny form... Their priorities are not my/our priorities.
