Did you know that Google Chrome (and most Chrome derivatives, including Brave) has a built-in blacklist (called "Google Safe Browsing") ?
It's easy to be put on the blacklist, and difficult to get off. My friend Gordon Lyon's website for the nmap project was recently put on it:
"Google Chrome has been blocking Nmap downloads all day because their broken "Safe Browsing" system suddenly labeled a 10-year-old version of our Ncat software as a threat. We will get this resolved with Google, but wanted to let you know that your Nmap downloads are still safe!"

And there are many other instances of similar false positives:
