I have cloned the Netflix home page to showcase my skill. But after deployment, its link is showing as dangerous site by the google. Not only netflix cloning page link, all my deployed projects links are showing as dangerous site. Any one provide some solution?

This is fairly common issue and it’s just google trying to make sure your site isn’t a phishing clone of a popular one like Facebook or Netflix. You can try a few things to resolve this:

-First, make sure you're enforcing HTTPS: go to your repo's settings > Pages > and check Enforce HTTPS

-Try changing your GitHub username, delete the current repo with the site, and redeploy your cloned site in a new repo with a different name like ntflx-test etc and check if the site is still blocked

-Verify your site using Google Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/about. You might need to add a simple header to prove ownership of your site. Once that’s done, you can check why your site is being flagged and if necessary, request a security review from Google

Your deployed sites are being flagged as dangerous, likely because cloning branded websites like Netflix (even for educational purposes) can trigger Google's phishing and malware detection systems. Also, if you're using free hosting, lack HTTPS, or don't include proper disclaimers, Google may consider your site suspicious. To fix this, use HTTPS (with SSL), avoid using brand logos or names directly, add a clear disclaimer, and submit your site to Google Search Console for review. Hosting on trusted platforms like Vercel or Netlify also helps avoid such issues.

You can also get a custom domain, and then get an SSL certificate as well to get that https in your website's URL, and access it from around the globe from any device.

I get what people mean when they talk about dangerous sites, especially when you compare them with trusted platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime, where everything is clean and secure. But honestly, not every third-party app deserves a bad rep. I’ve been using Snaptube for a long time to download videos and music, and it’s been completely safe for me, no viruses, no weird pop-ups. Just smooth and simple to use.

Please enforce HTTPS

repo's settings > Pages > and check Enforce HTTPS

Hey @arunjoshva 👋

If your GitHub Pages site is being flagged as dangerous or deceptive, it usually means that a browser or third-party safety provider (like Google Safe Browsing) has temporarily marked your domain.

This can happen for a few different reasons - such as outdated scripts, mixed-content issues, or misconfigured redirects.

We’ve published a short guide that walks you through the most common causes and how to fix them:

It includes troubleshooting steps, verification guidance, and links to request a review once everything’s fixed.

Best of luck!
