Firefox is blocking my personal website based on flawed "Google Safe Browsing" What the hell?

ctag@lemmy.sdf.org to Firefox@lemmy.ml – 168 points –

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.

I imagine that domain is mostly used for spam/phishing sites so Google preemptively blocks all sub domains until they prove they aren't spam. That's one of the shortcomings of using a free domain I guess.

Domains are cheap as dirt for the most part anyways, it's like 12$/year for a .com if you don't mind having one of those weirder TLDs I've seen those as cheap as 2$/year

2 dollars a year

I got 1 dollar a year on my domain, gen.xyz has some real cheap domains if you don't care about it being a string of 6-9 numbers.

What were they thinking with some of those TLDs?

There's also .website which seems like a weird choice, yeah this website here, yeah this one here, it's a website.
