@germanfr It's a "feature" called "Google Safebrowsing". In intervals, it downloads allegedly malicious URLs to your browser, which then compares each visited URL against those. Google isn't hosting our repo – we do that (currently at Hetzner in Germany). But yes: this way, Google has the power to decide which pages you're allowed to see – and which… not. In this current case, one could count that as anti-competitive, and a violation of DMA.
