Google Safe Browsing bans projects over 302 redirects
The Problem
Developers are facing issues with Google Safe Browsing flagging their projects due to 302 redirects, leading to unexpected bans from the internet. This problem affects indie developers and small projects that rely on these redirects for functionality. Current solutions lack clarity and support for navigating these restrictions, leaving developers frustrated and unable to reach their audience effectively.
Market Context
This pain point is part of a growing concern around web accessibility and the impact of automated security measures on small projects. As more developers turn to innovative solutions, the rigidity of platforms like Google Safe Browsing is becoming a significant barrier to entry, especially for indie developers.
