A downloads manager that looks out for you, and scan-free QR that reads any code on a page

A big update to downloading and to reading QR codes, all on your device. Downloads now have a proper manager: every file shows its type, its size, and the site it came from - with that site's real icon, drawn from your own history rather than fetched from anywhere - grouped by day, with one-click open, reveal-in-folder, copy-link and re-download. A small download island now sits by the tabs and shows progress while a file arrives, then taps through to the full list. And it watches your back: a file that runs code is flagged, a disguised one - something named like a document that is really a program - is called out clearly, an insecure source is marked, and you can copy any file's fingerprint to check it against a published one. You can also choose a folder for each download instead of always saving to Downloads. Reading QR codes off a page now works whether the code is a picture, drawn as crisp vector art, or painted by the page as it runs - point at it and open its link, no phone needed. The overall platform score stays at 70.

What changed 4 changes

Tabs & interface	Downloads have a real manager. Each file shows its type, its size, and the site it came from with that site's own icon (taken from your local history, never fetched over the network), grouped by day, with open, reveal-in-folder, copy-link and re-download a click away - and a download island by the tabs that shows a file arriving and leads to the full list.
Privacy & Shields	Downloads look out for you, entirely on your device. A file that runs code when opened is flagged; a disguised one - named like a document but actually a program - is called out plainly; a file pulled over an insecure connection is marked; and you can copy any file's checksum (a unique fingerprint) to verify it matches the one its publisher listed. You can also opt to pick a folder for each download rather than always saving to your Downloads folder.
Tabs & interface	Scan-free QR codes now read off the page no matter how the page makes them - a picture, crisp vector art, or a code the page paints as it runs (the sign-in-QR idiom). Point at any QR and open its link in a new tab, no phone required, decoded entirely on your machine. A code the page adds or refreshes after loading is picked up too.
JavaScript & JIT	Rendering fixes. Graphics that scale the thickness of their lines now draw at the right weight instead of as hairlines, so vector art built that way comes out solid. Looping animations - spinners and pulsing elements - keep moving instead of freezing after a moment. Both bring a wider range of real sites closer to how their authors intended.
