So you want mBarcode to continue scanning in the background while you view the webpage? Well this is certainly doable once I add the right combination of settings (use default plugin, don't show results page, continuous scanning).

You are of course welcome to fork if you really want to, but I'd prefer to add options to mBarcode such that it becomes suitable for your (and anyone else's) usecases.
