    Same when you try to deviate from the approved path of email providers or, dog forbid, even self-host email.

    This is why I always switch off that “block potentially dangerous sites” setting in my browser - it means Google’s blacklists. This is how Google influences the web beyond its own products.

    edit: it’s much more complex than simple blocklists with email

      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.
