Chrome blocks zip downloads

[altenbach]

Today, I was trying to download some of the zip attachments in this thread, but Chrome protected me from myself. I could not find a way to "download anyway", so what can I do???

Are ZIPs now globally blocked? Do these contain anything that is suspicious?

(Well, I could try a different browser... Anyone have an old copy of Mosaic? 😄 (Yes, I actually used that in the early nineties...)).

Clicking on "More info for software developers and website owners" above brings me to this page.

Hi @altenbach,  Thank you for letting us know. That's interesting. We will have to do some research. I'll let you know what we find.

Workaround

As Andrew found, we can go to "all downloads" and there is an option to keep the dangerous files anyway. Worked!

It seems to have fixed itself as I don't get that message any longer. Do you?

Yes, it seems to have cleared up. I guess a few hours of Deepmind pondering figured out that VIs are harmless after all. 😄
