Use an extension to download the files, there are at least several good ones. Be realistic, Chrome won't have that option because only a small amount of people really needs it: the majority either don't download exe or download only signed installers for popular stuff so they don't see the warning.

I call bullshit. Literally every single person downloads executables. That's how you install programs. Are you seriously saying most people don't install programs? You're telling me only unsigned installers give the warning, but its simply not true. I just tried downloading google chrome and it gives me the damn warning. Its out of control.

Ah, so you mean the built-in Windows security warning:

You can disable it by editing Windows policy.
Anyway it's not something Chrome is responsible for.

No, I don't. I attached a file showing how chrome itself is warning me about its own installer.

Oh. Maybe you've disabled "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" option in Chrome settings? The thing is I saw this "keep/discard" warning just a few times over the years downloading lots of exe installers. I also have Windows Defender enabled.

considering this as a feature request and changing the status to untriaged.

Thank You...

Thanks Kaluri!

nparker@, how does safe browsing feel about giving users an option never show the warning dialogue for exe?

That warning shouldn't be showing every time unless
a) You've disabled Safe Browsing ("Protect you and your device..")
or
b) Your machine can't reach Google and therefore can't verify the .exe is safe.

It also shouldn't show on sites you've downloaded from before (before a day ago), even with SB disabled.

I don't think a setting is appropriate to disable these warnings, given the threats and the conditions above.  Most users won't see these warnings.

> Most users won't see these warnings.
I see them again & again, downloading legitimate zip files on linux (free site themes). Browser can reach google.

Found more complaints at

Can you provide URL to a site that is consistently warning?

The complaint post was from a user who disabled Safe Browsing, so the warnings are expected there.

Ah, you're getting a different warning that what's described in this bug.

The "... is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous" means that is (or  contains) an executable file that is not known to be safe, and file is uncommonly downloaded. Those won't go away if you visit the same site repeatedly, but can go away if Safe Browsing is able to verify the file is safe.  Can you share the directory listing of that zip?  The URLs you provided don't generate downloads ("Sorry this shop is currently unavailable.")

Why is chrome being so big-brother about this stuff? Chrome shouldn't be warning about binaries that "aren't known to be safe" - it should only warn about binaries that are likely dangerous. Innocent until proven guilty ffs!

Also, I disabled "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" in the hopes that these messages would go away. They didn't. 

Can you share the directory listing of that zip? No, sorry.

Also, I'm on Linux. 

Without a working download URL or data about what's in the zip that caused this, we have no way to diagnose if this is a mis-classification. Feel free to open another bug if you have a repro case.  Thanks.
