On the one hand, I feel smugly better about using another browser[1]. But how could I feel this without google (i.e. google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic) to provide the ammunition? I'm so confused now. [1] http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=duckduckg...
Would some kind soul please describe to me what this does, my corporate eager beaver network admins seem to consider this some kind of problem site and it's URL is blocked by our gateway proxy.
Safe Browsing Diagnostic page for google.com What is the current listing status for google.com? This site is not currently listed as suspicious. Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 12 time(s) over the past 90 days. What happened when Google visited this site? Of the 6815255 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1686 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed wi…
This its likely the result of user generated content running on a google.com subdomain.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some of it could actually be hosted through code.google.com
ah good point, though github.io does not seem to have that problem http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=github.io
Someone briefly had a pointer to http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=code.goog..., which includes:
> Malicious software is hosted on 23 domain(s), including sms-bomber.googlecode.com/, gdata-issues.googlecode.com/, infojob.googlecode.com/.
I would actually compare it to github.com and github.io http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=github.co...
The diagnostic page doesn't appear to always be strictly accurate. For instance, it says "Google has not visited this site within the past 90 days." for many of my sites which it has crawled daily for years.

Does DDG attempt to detect sites that serve malware though? Also, s/browser/search engine/.
As far as I know, DDG does just browser/search. By extension they shouldn't be able to do as much harm as a company that provides many more services (e.g., safebrowsing/diagnostic). [edited the following 2 sentences for readability.] For example, one area possible threat could be code.google.com. DDG doesn't have a counterpart of hosted code, so it can't possibly be a threat. Hence, my confusion. Yes, part of me was…

I had to frequently whitelist pages when using Websense and our ASA.
