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
I wouldn't recommend turning off safe browsing
If a page is blocked it is very easy to bypass. However, the warning page will make you take a step back.
For instance, someone could create a fake Lemmy instance at fedit.org to harvest credentials.
just use ublock origin and a proper password manager. google safe browsing means google sees what sites you browse.
@possiblylinux127 @A_norny_mousse ungoogled-chromium disables safe browsing, and for Debian's chromium package I keep going back and forth about whether to pull that patch in or not.
@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it
Running Debian Stable, I have installed ungoogled-chromium which is also in the repos.
But Librewolf is my main browser, Chromium a rarely used secondary.
What I'm talking about is how these blocklists are used by many other browsers/softwares (e.g. Firefox) as well.
This is why I always don't use Chrome or Google Search
