@admin I've updated my snipped with information collected from this thread, on how to disable Google Safebrowsing on Android browsers:
https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577#notes-on-how-to-disable-google-safebrowsing-in-browsers-on-android
So far, we have hints on Firefox and Brave. If you know it for other browsers, please let me know and I'll add it.
Note that, while I'm very much tempted to, this is no "recommendation to disable it". For our site it is safe (to our knowledge), but there are real dangers out there (like, googleapis.com 🙊). So be careful, please!

@IzzyOnDroid Ah, so to follow the instructions on the error message you have to know how to bypass their attempts to block mobile users from using about:config. Lovely. I filed a bug report with Mozilla too. As far as I'm concerned this is a serious UI defect, especially considering that the desktop version offers significantly more detail and also a bypass link. So sick of mobile users getting screwed over by Mozilla...
