Can we add, remove Google safe browsing to Google Chrome and derivatives as well, please?

Asking as someone who had their #selfhosted instance blocked from pretty much every browser by Google for the crime of using #Yunohost.
@yunohost

"Google safe browsing" should really be renamed "Google controlled browsing". No matter which popular browser used, Google alone chooses what pages are blocked with frightening messages about malware/phishing.

Sure, you can switch it off on your own browser, but if you run a site, you have no control over the browser of all your visitors. So when Google decides that they don't like Yunohost (or any other webapp) you're basically screwed.

From a quick google search I was able to find that various free software are getting flagged too:
- Emby : old.reddit.com/r/emby/comments…
- Mastodon : old.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comm…
- Jellyfin : github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-w…

and probably others too

The infuriating is that it's not clear at all what is the issue, and from what I understand you need to register a google account to contest this thing

When you do report that a site is on the banlist, Google also does not respond at all, so there seems to be no official way of finding out what's wrong. And that while this list is supposed to contain only *known* malicious sites.

Yes, a while ago I ended up having to register for Google Search Console to contest their "deceptive site" flag.

They claim to have detected "harmful content." The issue was "deceptive pages." The sample URLs they provided were all /yunohost/admin or /yunohost/sso.

"These pages attempt to trick users into doing something dangerous, such as installing unwanted software or revealing personal information."

Other sample URLs they provided were random subdomains that I wasn't even using. But since wildcard URLs were enabled they were redirecting to /yunohost/admin.

It seems they think that all sites that running on Yunohost servers are trying to impersonate Yunohost. (?)

@zcatav @yunohost

Thanks, but the point is not just to find a browser that doesn't use #GoogleControlledBrowsing. Heck, I can even turn this off in #Chrome if I want. What I *can't* do is switch it off for everyone else, visiting sites that Google has decided to block with "unsafe" malware / phishing warnings, even when they don't have anything like that. This is exactly what happens with many #Yunohost sites:

"Fun" fact : even rubygems.org got flagged recently, cf history here on May 12th : status.rubygems.org/
