I am getting sick of the "google deceptive site warning" for my websites....for fucks sake how many false positives can they intercept? Matrix Synapse deceptive? Nextcloud deceptive? Cryptpad deceptive? The Yunohost install deceptive?

Why is this even a thing? It should be opt-in if you want to be daddying by google and firefox.

Now I understand why librewolf has disabled Google safe browsing over censorship concerns. You might be able to disable that in your firefox, just go to about:config and check for these:

browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled
browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled
browser.safebrowsing.blockedURIs.enabled
browser.safebrowsing.provider.google4.gethashURL
browser.safebrowsing.provider.google4.updateURL
browser.safebrowsing.provider.google.gethashURL
browser.safebrowsing.provider.google.updateURL

Ah great. I perhaps should do that for TROMjaro too! Thanks a lot.

Librewolf allows you to enable/disable Safe browsing with a single toggle, so users who what that extra protection can have them. For people like you and me we probably don't need it, plus ublock origin does some of that blocking too. Safe browsing can be useful for non-techy people who are prone to phishing attacks.

If my method worked to fix your issue then I recommend mentioning it here - https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/126#note_806368764

Let them know that their initial decision to disable Safe Browsing because of censorship concerns was a right one. False positives for matrix servers are real bad IMO.
