One reason is the blacklisting as mentioned in the article, the other reason is security: browser typically implement security policies around domains as well, such as cookie scoping and whatnot. Putting all user generated content under a completely separate domain avoids a whole category of potential iss…

#125I run https://neocities.org , and safe browsing has been my nightmare overlord for a long time. No way to manage reports via an API, no way to contact support. I haven't even been able to find a suggestions box, even that would be an upgrade here.

#129After years of seeing developments like this, getting worse and worse, it fills me with rage to think about how clearly nobody in power at Google cares. I naively used to think, "they probably don't realize what's happening and will fix it." I always try to give benefit of the doubt, especially having been on the other side so many times and seeing how 9 times out of 10 it's not malice, just incompetence, apathy, or…
