I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.
Fuck Chrome. I’m glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

Just reproduced it here-
Are you using a company (work) laptop? Chance that it’s a rule configured by your company’s sysadmin. Chance that they configured it to block downloads for executables. Try downloading other apps to confirm.

No, although I did use it for work, which is the only reason Chrome is on the computer. But the sysadmin didn’t touch it.
They don’t need to touch it. If you login using your company’s google account, they automatically has access via their MDM console.
I don’t. I don’t even work there anymore. I quit a couple of weeks ago.
I just tried to reproduce this and couldn’t either. I’m also using a mac. Had to download a fresh copy of chrome since I didn’t already have it on my machine and it let me download 121.0 without hiccup. I’m curious what blocked it on yours.
Huh. Me too. Very weird. It’s not a problem obviously, but I’m curious too.
Your safe browsing was disabled, as another commenter said. Either you had it disabled manually, or it was momentarily down and couldn’t fetch the list. Either way, it marks all downloads as unsafe just to be sure in that case.
I don’t use Chrome but maybe that Google Malware scan option is not set to the strictest?
You sure have a lot of tabs for something that you use only once.
I used it for work before I quit my job because the backend required Chrome. Believe it or not, I didn’t bother to close out all the work tabs when I quit the job.
Did you really quit the job because you had to start making a Chrome product?
Chad move. 💪
No. I really quit my job because I’m suffering from a mystery illness.
Ah, okay, I’m sorry to hear that.
But also this just opens up even more intrigue.
I agree. It makes no sense.
Not really where I was going. Mystery illness sounds very interesting, is what I meant.
