I wonder if Google will introduce something stupid like an emoji that means https:// , that will start showing up on Chrome and be recognised by their QR Code scanner..

Oh never mind, they're going to kill the address bar instead. Next they should just introduce an emoji that means "Search for this on Google:"...

I wonder what the minimum necessary text is for recognising a link in QR code apps, the one built into my camera won't notice that some text that says facebook.com is a link, but the one in google lens app will.
