Con FLAGGED FOR MALWARE AND PHISHING BY 2 DIFFERENT BROWSERS (FF & Vivaldi)
Yeahhh, I thought it was just a mistaken flag of the "I-don't-like-it-because-it-has-no-https-version" kind of thing but I tried it on Vivaldi a minute later and got the same thing (for the most part; said it in a slightly different wording which actually gave it more weight AFAIAC, but that is just my take on it. I might add that while I am not like Uber-Secure and running TOR on Kali Linux, I do have more than many people nowadays as far as security and such. (Not affiliated with but still recommend very highly restore-privacy.com they know what they are talking about and can steer you in the right direction (without being conspiracy nuts, btw!) ;-) mtg ) Anyway, not worth the risk. If there are 2 diff. browsers saying don't go, I don't go! mtg
