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:\
