Remember our "experience" with Google Safebrowsing in December 2025/January 2026? And that I doubted the "Safe" in its name? Well:
"Google is, quite literally, hosting phishing attacks on its own infrastructure and not catching them with its own detection tools."
Not catching a single one, that is โ see the graphic below (hint: red means missed). But they compensate that by flagging safe sides, no worries ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Today I've been having trouble accessing the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal (https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/), because it seems that "res.cdn.office.net" is being blocked by Google Safe Browsing. Can anybody confirm this?
@IzzyOnDroid Current Google IzzyOnDroid block status: block still ungoing even though Google literally doesn't list a single "suspicious" URL anymore after we made the false positives unreachable for them.
This is ridiculous. 5 days of almost 1300 clean FOSS apps being blocked by Google for "malware" that doesn't exist. Zero proof, zero accountability, zero recourse.
IzzyOnDroid is clean and we work hard to keep it that way.
It's taken them more than 36h to reevaluate their "finding". The files are non-existing for at least 38h. Still: review failed. They now mark us red for a file that does not even exist! How should one trust such a service to be safe โ and not just a random annoyance?
Honestly, if it's THAT reliable, rather turn it off. It seems to be rather useless (for you and me), and utilized for censorship (or how else should one understand this?)
Damn, @mozilla is doing everything it can to make good folks hate it 
First Mozilla enables Google Safe Browsing, and then blocks accessing about:config on Firefox Android 
Google is banning @IzzyOnDroid for no good reason, yet I have to jump multiple steps to configure Firefox: that is, first to enable about:config by accessing chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml and toggling general.aboutConfig.enable to even access nasty browser.safebrowsing.* settings.
Google is known for breaking antitrust law, this may be yet another case of eliminating alternative app stores from the radar.
Seriously, Mozilla, why you are trying so hard to make everyone hate you?
Google is now marking EVERY SINGLE APK at our repository as "Malware site issue". Congrats, "Safe" browsing. Of course there is not a single malware there, everything is scanned multiple times. And I bet they excluded *.google.com from their scan or the entire PlayStore would be red by now, tooโฆ Calling out to all of you: Please use https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/ to report the links as "safe"! https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/com.apkupdater_52.apk is the one console reports. :boost_love: #serviceToot #izzyOnDroid #fediPower

GrapheneOS is the only Android-based OS providing the full security preview patches. Samsung ships a small subset of their flagship devices. Pixel stock OS gets a portion of it early but we aren't sure exactly how much since they don't follow their guidelines for listing patches.
