Just reproduced it here-
Are you using a company (work) laptop? Chance that it's a rule configured by your company's sysadmin. Chance that they configured it to block downloads for executables. Try downloading other apps to confirm.
https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7579271?hl=en
No, although I did use it for work, which is the only reason Chrome is on the computer. But the sysadmin didn't touch it.
They don't need to touch it. If you login using your company's google account, they automatically has access via their MDM console.
I don't. I don't even work there anymore. I quit a couple of weeks ago.
If you have a good functioning IT dept, that laptop was fully configured to their specifications long before you got a hold of it and it certainly happens automatically.
I didn't get it from work. It's my personal machine. I just used it when I had a hybrid schedule. But I don't log in with that account because it doesn't exist anymore since I don't work there anymore.
Gotcha
Perhaps the download was corrupted? Like maybe the checksum didn’t match. Did it happen a second time or after you did a force refresh?
Actually, the second time I did it on a Macbook. A separate machine. However, they are both Intel Macs, so they are older and running an older OS (Monterey). Could that be it?
So far the browsers all seem to be universal apps, and I’d bet they stay that for many years.
My rule of thumb is that an issue isn’t an issue until it affects at least 10% of the fleet. Before then, it’s a fluke and not worth investigating.
I think you had a fluke. Seems like it’s worked for you since then.
For future reference, the correct way to install Firefox on a Mac is
brew install --cask firefox, not downloading it manually like some troglodyte.Edit: unamused downvoters be like:
Sorry, folks, I was trying to make a joke, not an insult!
Or you could use nixos-darwin. But yeah if that was a joke I missed it far
I just tried to reproduce this and couldn't either. I'm also using a mac. Had to download a fresh copy of chrome since I didn't already have it on my machine and it let me download 121.0 without hiccup. I'm curious what blocked it on yours.
Huh. Me too. Very weird. It's not a problem obviously, but I'm curious too.
Apple MDM. You can lock down a computer in all sorts of ways.
Source: I manage thousands of Macs.
Your safe browsing was disabled, as another commenter said. Either you had it disabled manually, or it was momentarily down and couldn't fetch the list. Either way, it marks all downloads as unsafe just to be sure in that case.
I don't use Chrome but maybe that Google Malware scan option is not set to the strictest?
You sure have a lot of tabs for something that you use only once.
I used it for work before I quit my job because the backend required Chrome. Believe it or not, I didn't bother to close out all the work tabs when I quit the job.
Did you really quit the job because you had to start making a Chrome product?
Chad move. 💪
No. I really quit my job because I'm suffering from a mystery illness.
Ah, okay, I'm sorry to hear that.
But also this just opens up even more intrigue.
I agree. It makes no sense.
Not really where I was going. Mystery illness sounds very interesting, is what I meant.
Oh, gotcha. It's less interesting if you're the one suffering from it.
I'm sure it is, but until I know what the mystery is... 🫨
Jokes aside, still unfortunate about the suffering.
You sure have a lot of tabs for something that you use only once.
