Hmm, there’s got to be a free app to protect you from it. 🤔
QR code phishing – also known as #quishing – reached record levels in ESET telemetry in H1 2026 as attackers exploit the widespread adoption of QR codes in everyday life. The technique is evolving rapidly in terms of automation, scalability, and detection evasion. 1/5

Clean Links v1.0.16 is live: Safari extension now strips tracking parameters before pages open on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
It uses Safari's declarativeNetRequest API, so cleanup happens privately in your browser during navigation. As always, nothing leaves your device.

We just added Safari extension support to Clean Links on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
And if you want zero outbound connections, you can turn on "Disable Network Requests." In that mode, known tracking parameters are still removed, but short links stay shortened.

Looks like @sindresorhus is getting users banned from the MacApps reddit for mentioning Clean Links, a free alternative to his commercial app HyperDuck. Stay classy my friend!🧵with all the receipts.

Posting @sindresorhus’s tenuous “proof” in this thread before he deletes it, like he deleted his reddit comment after getting u/awesomeo1989 banned from r/MacApps with it.

@sindresorhus We understand that you’re selling a $4 app (Pure Paste) for a builtin macOS feature (⌥⇧⌘V). That’s fine. But please don’t attack people and get them banned from subreddits, just because they’re talking about a free, superior alternatives to one of your paid apps.
