Is it using the Barcode Detection API for browsers that support it natively?

I would expect not, as that API does not currently support iOS (which is a real shame). What's annoying is that iOS bundles an excellent barcode scanning framework in Vision, so it wouldn't be tremendously difficult to add to safari.

Hi! No it does not use the Barcode Detection API, as that is not widely supported, and the last time I tried it (which is admittedly a while ago) performance did not seem great.

Cool, I didn't even know that existed. It'll be cool when it's widely available, but even before then it's fun for some personal or PoC stuff
