Scan a displayed QR code of the address whenever possible.

Isn't that actually worse option? I mean, I don't know about BTC but there are multiple instances of attacks with fake QR codes placed over parking meters. And last time I was looking for QR code generator for some random website the first one I found one "looked to be working", but actually quietly replaced the URL with own link shortening service.

		> Isn't that actually worse option? When done correctly by a payment processor, the receiver's QR code for a Bitcoin payment varies for every transaction. It completely eliminates the risk of mistyping it. Granted, malware could replace it, but replacing it is a lot harder than replacing a simple address.

With websites you can see if the URL looks like something legitimate, so URLs are slightly better, but Bitcoin addresses are just a long random string, so being able to see the address wouldn't actually help anything.
