This entire thread it almost entirely proof that HN is now reddit. No facts, no consideration, just accusation and crowd think

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

none of that here

> Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.

not followed here

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

none of that there

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Lots of that here

The system is clearly automated. As others have pointed out, they've been able to download without incident. As other have also pointed out, Firefox also warns. The warning is reasonable, claiming that something isn't downloaded often is true, until it isn't. A few more downloads and the warning will likely go away.

Nothing to see here except a Google hater mis-interpreting something and the posting ragebait.

You are wrong. There is at least one collaboration here that I can see. Download any other `.tar.gz`, Chrome says nothing. Do it with `yt-dlp`, chrome says it can harm your computer. Why?
