So this sucks for the developer, but I have another story to share. I was trying to buy a school bus to make a schoolie out of, the Craigslist add directed me to a seemingly innocuous eBay motors link that looks pretty close to the real thing. I was busy and clicked, totally intending to drop $5k. I got distracted and had to come back to it later, when I did, credit card in hand, the page showed the red screen with a huge warning. A closer look revealed the bad url. Saved by google? Oh god, I think I need a shower now.

The fact that they are sometimes useful does not negate the fact that they have too much power to censor the web.

  It kind of does though? Either people get scammed by broken URLs or google sometimes bans innocent sites. I would expect most chrome users prefer innocent sites occasionally banned.
