Make URL security warning optional #149

If you scan an URL you see a warning message which forces you to select a checkbox before you can interact with the link.

This security check should be made optional (default: on) because it is really annoying for "power users".

On the contrary, this is a good step to avoid phishing links

How about a timer like Firefox as an alternative? At least it gives some time to think and prevent accidental tapping.

I suggest making it a configurable option in the preference list. Available options include always require confirmation, auto-confirm after n seconds, and never.
