I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.

Fuck Chrome. I'm glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

My favorite is Edge trying to plead with you not to switch browsers

I will now, thanks!

Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

IE: What is my purpose?

Me: You download Chrome!

IE: Oh...my god!

Now Chrome isn't trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there's almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

Firefox thinks Chrome is unsafe as well.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

At work, we subscribe to Microsoft Defender so that we get a centralised view of potential security issues on people’s computers.

It’s always saying that there’s something wrong with Chrome and it never alerts about the same issues that are almost certainly a problem with Edge.

That’s mildly infuriating too.

You have disabled Safe Browsing. That prevents files from being checked for malware, so all downloads are blocked by default (nothing to do with Firefox). As you noted, you can override the warning to download anyway, but it is an extra step to try to reduce the chance of someone accidentally running a malicious program.

Unsafe... for our margins!

[-] ratman150@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

While this could be malice it just as likely could be a complete error. I recently had to download a tool related to x11 on Firefox on windows and it also blocked the download as unsafe. Weirder still, it did this every time I started Firefox until I ended up ditching windows. No idea why.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Did you download it over http instead of https? I know firefox blocks http downloads by default now so I could see chrome doing the same

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago

I'd be very surprised if mozilla.org didn't redirect http to https.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I honestly wasn't paying attention. I just went to the download page.

iirc there's a mac setting in systems prefs where you can allow apps to be downloaded from the app store or the app store and unverified developers. by default i believe they have it set to app store only. (system prefs > security & privacy > general)

https://www.goodcore.co.uk/blog/how-to-install-apps-on-mac-from-unidentified-developers/

(edit: unverified, in this case, means people who don't pay the apple developer subscription to release in the mac app store)

The irony. I use Vivaldi Browser now and may consider switching to Fennec if Firefox ever implements tab stacks.

[-] Tum@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

What are tab stacks?

Safari and Firefox are good enough for me, especially since I started using the SSD 3 years ago.

And duckduckgo is good enough too instead of google.

And the free RSS reader NetNewsWire is good enough for me instead of the automated recommendation system of google.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I've noticed YouTube acting funny in Firefox, too. Full-screen no longer works on our Galaxy Tab A using Firefox with ublock. On my PC, YouTube seems to randomly switch audio devices to output to. Neither of those problems exist in Chrome or the YouTube app. They didn't exist in Firefox either until recently. Almost like it's intentional...

[-] cloud_herder@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It doesn’t actually. It’s just an asshole.
