Description

I know this isnt't a awesome-qr.js specific error, but it could be useful to add it in the documentation.

Error

When using the code in the browser, I get the following error

ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): SecurityError: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.
