Google wants you to use it. If it blacklists excess domains that hold legitimate sites, their product gets worse. If they blacklist illegitimate sites, their product gets better.

This argument would hold more weight if Google didn't have a history of making their own products worse and then getting rid of them.

Same as for those antiviruses.

Cute. That is the commenter’s whole point about monopolies. Google is on record making their product worse to squeeze revenue. We’ve been living in the enshitification economy.

There is a financial incentive to make the search results worse. (More searches, more ads, more money.)

There is no incentive for adding false positives to lists of malicious websites.

that whiny bullshit about somebody elses website? you dont have to rely on a website or app. either you need their monopoly because you cant do it yourself, or you have options.... in both cases the whining is not needed
