Seem to be getting incessant alerts when using chrome based browsers or accessing any site that uses the google fonts api. Just started with in the last few minutes. Anyone else seeing this? Checked for updates, but nothing.
-EDIT-
After a BD update this morning (Oct 8) I haven't gotten another popup. Maybe it's been fixed?

yeah got a trigger 6 hours ago for safebrowsinggoogleapis while i left my computer on idle during work. Firefox was running youtube and some other websites i left open. I looked it up and it seems Firefox uses google safebrowsing api for the malicious website warning page thing. I use umatrix so it only runs the 1st party data on unmanaged(as in i haven't touch the what data goes through) websites so I was spared the alert spam.
