BUG: Google Chrome Blocking Linkbee?

October 15th, 2008

After roughly 173 complaints and after personally verifying the situation, it has come to my attention that Google Chrome has now blocked Linkbee.com, accusing Linkbee as a phishing scam. Clearly, something has gone horribly wrong with Google Chrome’s system and they messed something up. Linkbee is no way affiliated to any phishing scams, we completely denounce such horrible activity.

We are working diligently to try and solve this issue, but we don’t have many ideas at this moment. There is no efficient way to contact Google and get this resolved so we sent an email to every possible destination at Google hoping for the best. In the meantime, it looks like our Chrome users will have to revert back to Firefox or Opera.

I’m positive if TinyURL and our competitors aren’t blocked, Google will get this straightened out as soon as possible. After all, Google are the leaders in the online space, they don’t get there by making mistakes like this.
