QR codes cannot be scanned #93

I expect this might have something to do with requiring a Google API to interpret QR codes. If so, I understand why the feature doesn't work.

Here's some pertinent info:

To reproduce the bug:

  1. Open a webpage in Ungoogled Chromium Android
  2. tap the three dots in the top-right
  3. Tap Share...
  4. Tap QR code
  5. Tap scan at the top
  6. Attempt to scan a QR code

Expected behavior: The QR code is scanned and opens a webpage.

Actual behavior: The camera view appears as expected, but the code is never scanned. No error messages are given, but no QR code can be scanned.

More context: Scanning QR codes works on Firefox and using an app called Binary Eye. Therefore I know the problem is not caused by my OS or bad camera quality.

Yes, you assumption is right. The QR scanning are removed because it uses google's vision API which depends on a binary library.
