[Invalid] False Positives?

[SB]

There are certain adult sites that I visit that are being blocked by No Script on Firefox. But when I test them with Chromium (Linux) they run fine.

For instance, Guys With IPhones is now completely blocked with a red attack site warning page. But when I open it in Chromium, there's no problem.

When I go to certain adult blogs, the search box is blocked saying there is some fake thing there. But again, in Chromium it is not.

Can someone explain this, please?

You sure that's not Firefox aka Google warning you (at least on the iphone site).

(No problem loading the site here. Don't use FF, & so that FF/Google "bad site" database does not exist for me.)

Google & therefore Firefox, label that site as harmful.

What doesn't make sense to me is if Google is labeling the site as harmful, why is it not showing up on Chromium which is Google owned and run?!

Also, if it does not show up for you on firefox, then why is it showing up for me? We are both using No Script. So why am I getting it and not you? It doesn't make sense.

Wondered about that. But not familiar with Chrome. Would expect it use the same database, but who knows?

Do a Google search for your page. You will see that Google lists it as harmful. (That's how I know about it.)

> if it does not show up for you on firefox

I don't use FF, I use SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey does not use that Google (whatever it's called, database thing) that FF uses & so SeaMonkey would never flag the site.


Start FF in -safe-mode (assume that would disable both NoScript & also the FF/Google database) & see if the site loads as expected for you. (But then according to Google, that would not be safe.)

I don't know why you'd suspect NoScript, because it does no such thing.

NoScript does do this (below) & it was this that I initially thought the OP was posting about (but now I don't think it is the issue).
