If you're going to host user content on subdomains, then you should probably have your site on the Public Suffix List https://publicsuffix.org/list/ . That should eventually make its way into various services so they know that a tainted subdomain doesn't taint the entire site....

The root cause is bad behaviour by google. This is merely a workaround.

Remember, this is a free service that Google is offering for even their competitors to use.

And it is incredibly valuable thing. You might not think it is, but internet is filled utterly dangerous, scammy, phisy, malwary websites and everyday Safe Browsing (via Chrome, Firefox and Safari - yes, Safari uses Safe Browsing) keeps users safe.

If immich didnt follow best practice that's Google's fault? You're showing your naivety, and bias here.

Holy shit look into the mirror.

One of the internet's biggest source of scams, phishing, and malware and everything you are complaining about is google adsense.

Google is using the list to bully out competitors, while telling you it's for keeping you safe.

_You_ are showing naivety and bias.

You should not be downvoted. Either HN has had an influx of ignorant normies or it's google bots attacking any negative comments
