#2>Felkod: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE
Couldn't access it. Found Web Archive link[0].
Mistaken identity for an app with the same name (it seems). More specifically, it seems like someone at Google was looking to disable the app, yours was the first to return in their search, so that must've been it. You'd think there'd be correlatable identifiers to specifically prevent this?

Sorry about the error. I noticed and flicked the "enable https" shortly after posting. I flicked it off again for now.

Funny that their internal tool wouldn't have a workflow that kept the app id. Googlers doing error prone swivel chair correlation is kind of sad.

#6I wonder why Google is allowing to ban people, delete they accounts etc.. only because user is not following the mainstream ?
Talking own theories is not allowed anymore in Google or YouTube..
Follow the template model or be casted out is the message.

Perhaps you need to disable HTTPS Everywhere — the link in this post is HTTP, not HTTPS.

#8Can we sue Google when they do things like this? No single entity should wield this much power. And we should rewrite the laws to make this so.
Google and Apple wanted to be in the role of gatekeeper, so they should be beholden to the apps on their platform. We had a web where developers were in control of their own deployment. Everything was decentralized and required responsibility and diligence.
Now the power is out of our hands and its unfair. It isn't our choice.
One might argue this is better for consumers, but I honestly don't think so. Technology could have fixed discoverability and provided sandboxing, networks could provide curation. And there would probably be better privacy in the world where Mozilla won instead of Google.
Edit: I am so happy that GDPR and CDPA have arrived to protect consumers. We need similar laws to protect startups, small businesses, and sole proprietors that rely on these platforms to treat us fairly. They owe us that after haven taken away the nice open web we once had. Maybe laws are how we get back the web we lost.

In that world Mozilla wouldn't sell your data to Pocket or Stranger Things or whoever knows a bizdev at Mozilla?

You know Apple initially wanted to make web “apps” a thing, you can still save html apps direct to home screen and run them offline to this day.
