Unable to download software in Chrome due to Chrome Safe Browsing

Unable to download software in Chrome due to Chrome Safe Browsing

At the moment, Chrome is blocking Spotify installer downloads due to their Safe Browsing protection. Which makes downloading for the uneducated chrome user a bit difficult. Blwo are the screen shots. 

 

If Spotify could work on getting this resolved, that would be great.

Spotify is considered a Peer-to-Peer application, and some anti-virus systems aren't always too happy about that. You can solve this issue by using a different browser, or temporarily disabling Safe Browsing. Just make sure that your download is coming from here. Hope this helps!

Regardless, this is something that should be notified and fixed from Spotify by contacting Google. Not on the user end. Otherwise, eventually, a lot of non-technical people that don't know how to disable the Safe Browsing feature in Chrome will start to complain. 

 

That is all I am saying, I know how to fix it, I already downloaded Spotify, but this is more of a means for people and to inform Spotify that they need to fix this.
