Today Chrome stopped allowing me to download my HTML5 games.

How do we get around this?

I can no longer download my game projects so I can upload them to a website.

message:

"x.zip may be dangerous so Chrome has blocked it" (discard) / (learn more)

Thanks,

Caleb

I think if you click "learn more" there's an option to allow the download anyway?

well good news is that now it works now. not sure what changed. i will say the "learn more" didn't offer any useful information.. it didn't offer any solution about how to get around it.. simply something like (since i don't see it now) this is prevented because a number of reasons.. one being "the site is known for downloading malware" but the main one at the top seemed to be about the concern that the content just might be dangerous. i just downloaded the same project today without the error so i'm not sure what was up. Thanks for responding though regardless.

It's baaaaaack.. no way i can see around this other than using Safari and that's an absurd workaround.

also what's up with dropbox "share" links not imbedding as images in emails?

So i found a solution but it's a crappy one.. there is something wrong with these files being downloaded if i'm getting this error.. note i'm just exporting HTML5 games.. not cordova..

in settings under privacy you can effectively turn off chrome's "protect me from bad websites.." which works but now i'm vulnerable to potentially dangerous sites to do this..

Thanks for the information.
