That means if Google’s verification system gets widely adopted, browsing the web could become a headache.

Using a phone to scan a QR code in order to access a website on my desktop is a headache even if it has no dependencies in particular.

    Unless it was the website I needed inorder to receive an organ donation, I would just close it.

    I could claim that's an act of righteous protest, but really I just know that absent my needing a new liver, there's no website I would ever care enough about to get me to scan a QR code just to keep browsing.

    I have, multiple times, had to take a screenshot, send it to another device, and then display that QR code on that device so I can scan it. Nothing about using phones isn't a headache.
