If people start skipping and ignoring warnings then what is the point of warning them, google should provide an explanations as to why exactly this has happened otherwise THEY are going to harm their users and this will reflect badly on their brand down the road.
- fao_ 11y agoIf it's only one or two warnings that are skipped then it's fine. I regularily skip inventati.org's warning when I'm on another machine because they give a good reason for the warning (and a way to stop them occuring without disabling it (the warning))
- noobie 11y agoI think that the average non-tech savvy user would freak out and immediately leave the website when encountering the warning, which serves the purpose. If a user chooses to skip the warning, which isn't made intuitive, (i.e. no direct access to the "Skip" button) then they probably know what they're doing but Google should indeed offer explanation.
- higherpurpose 11y agoThen Google shouldn't be abusing the "security" excuse to stop other things themselves or their partners (MPAA) don't want to be used. I'm not saying that's what they did here, but it wouldn't be the first time either.
