- mvid 11y agoI'm going to guess that the damage is done, and any respectable project has already made steps off of SourceForge.
- cjbprime 11y agoI saw a screenshot showing that Sourceforge was being blocked and classified as a malware distribution site by Chrome -- that could certainly explain the sudden change of heart. Good riddance to Sourceforge, though.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoThat's funny but it's not blocked for me. That's the only time I've visited SourceForge on purpose in a long time.
- consta_a 11y agoBlocked by uBlock, not specifically Chrome.
- tarellel 11y agoAt the moment even uBlock and various adblockers are starting to block sourceforge in chrome as well. ie: http://i.imgur.com/mDZhBUy.png http://i.imgur.com/mDZhBUy.png
- wut42 11y agoit was just a specific project on sourceforge. There's a HN thread about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9738305 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9738305
- RubyPinch 11y ago> With that in mind, SourceForge pledges to present third-party offers only with the projects that explicitly opted-in to that program. As long as those offers are there ("malware" or not), there is still a problem. I can not recommend software that uses such offers to others, otherwise I need to then perform surgery on their computers to remove the anti-user results of the offers. Making money is important, but being pro-users should be more important.
