So, I was casually browsing GBAtemp, and suddenly this pops up:
upload_2017-10-6_13-29-3.png


What We Know
This error only appears on the normal desktop version of Chrome.
This happens on Windows, Linux, and Mac
All of FileTrip is blocked because of "phishing"
FileTrip results are omitted from Google search, but not other search engines
GBAtemp.net only gets this warning on specific posts, such as the "Starfox 2 already dumped, and it sucks" thread.

I am starting to think that the reason why some people are seeing this and not others is because of the ads...
we dont all see the same ads due to geo targeting and whatnot
besides in the google console it said that we were displaying "deceptive content" on certain page which have ads.
since the ad platform in use on filetrip can be somewhat shady (I have had issues with them in the past already) I have disabled ads entirely for the time being. We'll see what happens next.

It seems to be related to Filetrip ads, but I have ads bl- er, not blocked. But yeah, it's starting to piss me off. What are we going to do? When I start my browser off, it works fine, HTTPS and everything, but when those ads pop up, from Filetrip, they screw it over.

HTTPS goes from red to neutral, to green. Is this fixable?

It' stopped happening for me, atleast, the 2 pages that I've been on in this thread.

So, mini timeline here @Costello has disabled ads, @Lilith Valentine has removed filetrip from her sig, 1 person is repoting it's still happening, but so far, I myself haven't gotten this alert again.

Folks, if you've been getting this before, now's the time to try help pin point it.


Edit: I got it again lol.

Cool! ^_^
Reporting is really the most I can do and seeing only a reporter posting worried me. It's not to undermine her, it's just worrisome that the staff hasn't seen this. I know sometimes these kinds of threads can slide under the raider.
I tried every single browser installed on my laptop, I can't get this to happen to me.

Look harder, fool! :P (I'm joking, that sounding like Mr T in my head).

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
