Google Safe Browsing is blocking small Mastodon servers
Stuff like this is why I never use those &quot;block malicious sites&quot; sort of features -- not only because I assume they involve sending every URL I access to some kind of checking service, but also because I don&#x27;t trust Google or Mozilla (or any other corporate software vendor) to be the arbiter of what makes a site &quot;trustworthy&quot;.  Further, maybe I wouldn&#x27;t have to worry so much about whether I can &quot;trust a website&quot; if they would stop turning their web browsers into full-blown operating systems?<p>To me there&#x27;s also some irony to the name &quot;Google Safe Browsing&quot;, because IMHO that is an oxymoron -- browsing with Chrome is never &quot;safe&quot; for you because of the inherent&#x2F;persistent violations of your privacy.
