@IzzyOnDroid I just tried one of my apks in Chrome (MediLog) and it came down without a warning. However, apkupdater_52.apk produced the red screen warning. Maybe not all links are affected,which doesn't make this any better :-(

@thomas @IzzyOnDroid It seems it depends on device? Maybe the "malware list" from Google is only pulled every X hours. Some of my devices block every single link, others don't. Google "Safebrowsing" works in mysterious ways...

@thomas Thanks for checking! It also doesn't make it better that they do not tell us WHICH files are affected and WHY. Their console just gives a single example (the linked APK), and says "go figure yourself". And isn't it funny that the APK triggering this insane BS is an APK downloader? What was that with "allowing alternative app stores" (even Droid-ify is blocked now)? And the crap with "developer registration"? One ring to rule them all?!?
