Google Safe Browsing has started blocking entire domains with Immich?
It has been a week or so now but Google has essentially blocked my entire domain a week after github issue 21902 also mentioning getting blocked by google. I sent some family photos for a marriage anniversary over hotmail with a sharre and found my domain blocked the next day.
I put in a complaint and that seemed to work but it is back now and the culprit is seen as Immich's login page?
I mean, what am I supposed to do now?

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:You complain to Google again?
Remove the
immich
part from the domain, it’ll most likely solve it forever
Google has somehow taken a stance against anything being immich
in URLs
If you browse Reddit you’ll see lots of people with that issue too.
I’m not sure how Google works, it COULD be some site with immich in url WAS INDEED or STILL IS unsafe and Google flags everything with that part in domain.
As said, I don’t know - could also be Google doesn’t like competition.Yeah it flagged everything, so every subdomain is now rendered insaccesible on mobile, fun
Removed the photo share and reported it again yeah, but if its the domain name itself, wow...
It happens all the time to different domains
The only "fix" is to file a complaint
Yeesh, thanks google
Use hotmail once to send some stuff, one day later, this happens XD
Again, it’s the „immich“ part in the domain.
I feel like it should probably be mentioned in the docs to just avoid that.
For whatever reason Google got a pick on that word.
I’ve never heard of any OTHER domain being locked unless it actually held that word (in relation to immich I mean)
I literally wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to Google being pissed at a certain open source free software that manages to drive users away from Google. But that’s just a noob‘s hunch
The most inquiries here are actually about people with "photos" as their subdomain
I made mine “pics”
I feel this makes it even worse in terms of „why“. Are they blanket scanning services for anything related to „photos“ lol?
It’s not just the domain. Mine doesn’t use immich or photos
There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Happened to me with Emby some time ago
Add the site in search console, verify the domain, and submit a ticket. They usually remove it quickly
or just don't use chrome... 😬
Firefox uses googles safe browsing list
It goes way beyond chrome
Also breaks links in Gmail, chat, etc regardless of platform because they intercept clicks
Yeah its the domain name, tried multiple times, 4th time this month just hit.
Man, so anything Google finds 'hurts their market share', as it may be, gets this upon them?
Was thinking of making it "photos" as well but since it just doesnt stop but man...
