So this is new (to me). Gmail now marks outgoing links to "unknown" domains as "suspicious" and "might be harmful".
About the half of the indie websites and blogs in a recent newsletter popped up this warning!
How many people are going to ignore this warning or click on Show Details to see that there's *nothing actively harmful* about the site? They just haven't paid their protection money, I guess. ğŸ˜
"Suspicious," indeed. Google is flat-out evil.

- Popup from Gmail when clicking on a link to a small, independent website. There's a yellow caution icon and the text reads: "This link looks suspicious" "This link opens a site that might be harmful." When you click "Show details", it simply says "The reputation of .com is unknown" followed by a "Safer with Google" graphic. The dialog options are "Open anyway" as a text link and "Don't Open" as a highlighted button. (remote)
