Can't download LDC 1.39 from Chrome or Brave

Open p0nce opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Our onboarding tests shows that people can't download LDC on Windows since their browser will tell them their download is unsafe.

Trying to download this file https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/download/v1.39.0/ldc2-1.39.0-windows-multilib.7z

Shows a "this file is dangerous" in Brave image and similar in Chrome. Works in Edge with this file.

The solution for this is a reach out effort to use VirusTotal with binaries; then reaching out to antivirus vendors for false positive report. If we do this from time to time antivirus people will correctly identify D programs as "not all harmful". Usually those antivirus companies are the source from D software being misclassified.
