I see this ignorance about software development history all the time, making people «reinvent» the past constantly or forgetting the lessons we learned.

I think universities need to teach «history of software development» or we’re just going in a loop here, unwittingly reenacting past mistakes.

Chrome on Android allows sharing websites as QR codes. But from a cyber security perspective I'd go with the NFC chip and Google form you already proposed.

My work Chrome right now has over 300 open tabs in maybe 40 windows – I don't have a problem, I swear – and everything runs smoothly. My main suspicion is that my Ad and Tracking blocker makes that possible; there are websites that make my private machine unusable when I open them without a blocker.
