Firefox is blocking my personal website based on flawed "Google Safe Browsing" What the hell?
(lemmy.sdf.org)
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.
Looks like Google is the responsible one, not Firefox. Don't shoot the messenger.
Why is firefox trusting the evil empire to tell it what sites are safe?
Why does Firefox need to tell Google which sites you're visiting even if you don't use Google Search ?
All checking is done locally on your machine from a hashed list of "bad" domains, your visits aren't sent to google. You can get the full details here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work
Are they submitting that to Google or are they subscribing to some hashed list google has of domains with (according to them) know malware, issues, etc?
In that case everything happens on your pc and doesn’t go to google or Mozilla
Not true.
