  • Google Chrome now trying to block Tails .ISO image downloads.

    tails-amd64-6.9.iso.torrent was flagged by Chrome as a dangerous file and blocked.

    There was also a warning about downloading the .ISO file directly. It was
    not anti-virus software, the prompt was specifically, "Chrome has
    blocked...".

    Time to dump Chrome.

    Spoiler alert: .torrent is not an ISO file.

    Time to dump Chrome.

    Sure, but that's not the reason.

    Google probably pays lip service to media companies insisting Torrent == Piracy

    I thought everyone who don't need Google bullshit is using Chromium.
