## Description

Hackqr is an innovative QR code reader that prioritizes your security and control. Unlike traditional QR scanners that immediately open the embedded URL, Hackqr previews the link so you can verify it before proceeding. Users can edit the URL to remove unwanted tracking codes, ensuring a cleaner browsing experience. Additionally, you can approve trusted sites for automatic future access or research unknown URLs to assess their legitimacy.

This extension empowers you to safely interact with QR codes by enhancing visibility and preventing redirection to potentially harmful websites. Whether you're wary of unknown QR codes or want to maintain privacy by removing marketing campaign parameters, Hackqr provides a straightforward, effective solution for secure QR code scanning.
