Hey guys, this is more of a bug report or so.

I just got the above message downloading something from libgen. (of course, a document that doesn't have any copyright on it)

I learnt that what the message really means is *not* that this download *actually* has a virus or malware, but that the domain is known for distributing malware. This is a completely different statement!

I understand that I can turn this feature off, but shouldn't the absolute baseline be that my browser doesn't lie to me? I also learnt that Firefox pulls the list of "dangerous" domains from Google. In effect, Firefox is acting as an agent for Google spreading FUD against libgen. :(
