Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.

    Set up google search console for that domain, then it will tell you why it’s blocked. It might be a false positive you can flag, or it might be that a host or service has been compromised or contains something harmful. Google’s blocklist is quite aggressive and often blocks entire domains if one of their subdomains has a violation.

      Yeah, people are getting really upset at Google/Mozilla here but SafeBrowsing is actually a very good service. I legitimately believe that it frequently prevents malware infections and phishing on a regular basis. It is also architected with a privacy-first approach that reveals very little data to Google. And the SafeBrowsing privacy policy is actually one of Google’s very tight ones.

      I think Mozilla made the right choice to enable it by default. They also make it fairly easy to disable this for advanced users under the “Deceptive Content and Dangerous Software Protection” setting. (No need to crack open about:config, disabling it is fully supported.)

      I understand that this may be a controversial opinion.
