For the last few months, #Google has been blocking Safe Browsing requests via our (#IronFox) API key. They claim this is due to us hitting their (very limited) usage quotas.
We've filled out their form to request additional quota several times, and have never heard a response back.
Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts/suggestions on how we can get this fixed? Any help/support would be greatly appreciated. It's becoming a major issue that's compromising the safety of our users (by leaving them more exposed to malware/phishing/etc).

@celenity@infosec.exchange Don't worry. Ironfox is a browser for grownups. No need for a Google nanny. How about making this feature opt-in on Ironfox?

@celenity@infosec.exchange Ask the ACLU and sue them (Google, that is)

@celenity@infosec.exchange I really don't feel this feature ever helped in any way, in my experience. Wouldn't it be better to partner with a DNS filtering service and drop the shitty Google?
