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.

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

Hashed, but there is also a preferences cookie.

Copied from Wikipedia, but the citation is Google's white paper on this 'Logs, which include an IP address and one or more cookies, are kept for two weeks and are tied to the other Safe Browsing requests made from the same device.'

But that isn’t per domain is it? It’s just for fetching the list?

Similar to how your browser may request CRL’s

Not that it’s great that they’re setting a cookie.
