scans of it are fine.

probably just a heuristic-based false-positive, and not a news-worthy story of chrome abusing their monopoly or whatever.

Reminds me of how Bing search for Google takes people to a page meant to resemble Google.com. Can't trust huge companies.

But as others have pointed out, it's probably a coincidence in this case. But who knows.

It's funny such a big corporations can't let such a small tool live.

Google is such an evil company, it is not even provided anything great anymore.

Anti-gravity paid plans suck, GCP is billing heavy. Today google sucks at most things

Their Android playstore hardly updates statistics once a day, so much for such a big data company with unlimited sources lol

The heuristics powering this, as well as the Windows Defender whitelisting, are terrible.

My understanding is that a specific binary needs to become popular for it to stop being flagged. This creates a chicken and egg problem. Users are not incentivized to use the program with the warning. But removing the warning requires many people to ignore the warning.

This is a big problem for anyone writing Windows software. An indie developer or small open source project is not going to do well with this.
