How would the phone camera know the domain name of the website displaying the QR code it's scanning?

The camera isn't the part doing that verification. The google service serving that "reCAPTCHA" is what's doing that validation. Unless you're using a custom browser that is reporting a different domain to google than the one requesting the reCAPTCHA, google's service will know which domain is which.

After you scan the code, the verification app asks you "do you want to verify for example.com?"

  • If you don't verify for example.com you won't be allowed to view example2.com. So do you want to or not?
