So, I was casually browsing GBAtemp, and suddenly this pops up:
upload_2017-10-6_13-29-3.png


What We Know
This error only appears on the normal desktop version of Chrome.
This happens on Windows, Linux, and Mac
All of FileTrip is blocked because of "phishing"
FileTrip results are omitted from Google search, but not other search engines
GBAtemp.net only gets this warning on specific posts, such as the "Starfox 2 already dumped, and it sucks" thread.

xD hahaha! 10/10

One thought I've had :
When coming into a thread with a signature image uploaded to filetrip, I got the red screen and it warned about filetrip (not gbatemp). Now, if it would be ads that were deceptive, shouldn't it warn for whatever server that ad is hosted on instead?
Or is it fine to host deceptive ads, as long as it's only others who show them?

Hmm...

I was actually testing to see my signature was the issue. I decided to upload it to imgur instead and made this thread, in an attempt to test that. I heard back from one person, but I was hoping more would start commenting on that thread to see if they got an error on a new thread of mine using a different host.

I saw in another thread that that was the case. Go into a gbatemp thread, red screen warning about filetrip, go in anyway and check source code, only occurrence of filetrip was a signature.

I'll check your thread on my computer in a moment!

I am still rather confused as to why Costello and I both aren't having this issue.
Cool! ^-^ Please leave a comment with your results. I am wondering anyone still having an issue with this thread is just a cache issue or not.

It might be a windows issues, maybe something isn't parsing correctly on the SSL check, maybe certs. If so, that could be a problem.
 
I haven't gotten once any of those "deceptive site ahead" warnings

Neither in one of the 2 computers and a virtual machine I use for coding

I have officially "tainted" that thread with an image from filetrip. So it should give an error when going back to that thread.
 
Issac said:
Sure did taint it! Red screen now!

Nice! My experiment worked!
Right, so this is very clearly an issue with filetrip and doesn't effect everyone. It's also an issue that carries over to other sites when filetrip links are present on the site.
This is quite the pickle, but something I will unfortunately have to leave to Costello to figure out. At least I was able to narrow down the issue here on the Temp by confirming the connection that the issue was my signature.

Damn filestrip ads :rolleyes: Certain threads and Filetrip downloads are triggering it big time now, I'm baffled, who or what the deuce flagged it in the first place? Google, I love your browser and YouTube, but you sometimes make dumbass decisions.

FileTrip is also blocked on Firefox, except it doesn't seem to affect GBAtemp pages that link to it.
I suggest everyone report it as a false positive like I did. There's not much else you can do.
 
If filetrip is used for hosting pirated files etc then of course its going to get flagged and blocked.

Lilith hosts her sig pic on FileTrip. Any thread she posts in will bring the red warning screen of doom lol

Lillith signature and no error on 4th page. Weird. It's a random error or something?
Oh i just noticed that chrome hidden the "Dangerous" symbol. no https, lame.
