Ah...I thought this was going to be a "camera turned my QR code into a different QR code" like the fake-news "iPhone camera made my friends face a leaf" story.

Ah...I thought this was going to be a "camera turned my QR code into a different QR code" like the fake-news "iPhone camera made my friends face a leaf" story. But in fact it just seems like after the QR code is converted to a URL, the app tries to normalize the URL and isn't familiar with a bunch of new TLDs, so it truncates them(for some reason).

- oh_sigh 5y agoDoes the bug report mention that .co and .net links are affected by this bug? I was only able to look at the screenshots in this thread
- alpaca128 5y agoAfaik .co and .net are not confirmed to be affected TLDs, but they are affected in other parts of the address. For example if the QR code contains the URL `foonet.uk` Google's autocorrection would change it to `foo.net.uk`.
