    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.

        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.
