    The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

    I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

      I think that marking things as “safe” could have more complications than this depending on their definition but I think you’re right that’s probably all this issue is. This is almost the only sane comment here. Everyone else seems to be frothing at the mouth and I’m guessing its a decent mix of not understanding much of how these systems work (and blindly running tutorials for those that do self host) and blind ideology (big companies are bad / any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad)

    jellyfin had a similar issue too for a long time for servers exposed to the internet. google would always reblock the domains soon after unblocking them. I think they solved it in the latest update. Basically it’s that google’s scraping bots think that all jellyfin servers are a scam that imitate a “real” website.

    Fuck you google. I can’t see youtube videos with my browser because google wants me to sign in. Tells me it is protecting the community.

    BULLSHIT.

    Because google doesnt make me sign in to view or edit someone elses google docs they are sharing. Which one is more important google? Assholes.

    Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software.

    IMO Google Save Browsing was built with consideration for open-source and self-hosted software, but it has nothing to do with user safety, just like blocking Android apps from 3rd party sites has nothing to do with user safety. The harder they make it to move away from their products by making using alternatives difficult, the more money they make and money is now the only objective. Even if this only adds a fraction of a fraction of a percent to their profit it’s something Google will implement.

    The old social contract of businesses being of benefit to the community as a whole in addition to making a profit is long gone.

      Google has always been evil. Why else was their byline “Don’t be evil”?

      If you have to make such a disclaimer…

    I got a ‘dangerous site’ warning and then prompts for crap on my Vaultwarden instance (didn’t see it on Immich but this was a while ago). I think I had to prove I owned the domain with some DNS TXT records then let them “recheck” the domain. It seems to have worked.

    They’ve also started warning against android apps from outside repos. Basically they want to force people to use their ai-filled bullshit apps.

    Same when you try to deviate from the approved path of email providers or, dog forbid, even self-host email.

    This is why I always switch off that “block potentially dangerous sites” setting in my browser - it means Google’s blacklists. This is how Google influences the web beyond its own products.

    edit: it’s much more complex than simple blocklists with email

    Google flags F-Droid updates…

    Why would people have Google security going on if they have set up F-Droid as their appstore? Doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose?

      Like I understand that if I buy a phone from Apple, and they control everything on the phone and what I can install - well I mean I bought it from Apple, what else did I expect?

      But I didn’t buy my phone from Google. They should have no say in what I could or couldn’t install.
