Wow. Domain 1 year old. At this point of time, Norton safe web extension (for FF) and Osprey haven't picked up this website for me. I tried other alternatives, which didn't pick this up either, including:

• Avira browser safety
• Emsisoft browser security
• Malwarebytes browser guard
• SafeToOpen online...
• TrafficLight

On "Crystal disk mark," Brave search listed the site in the 4th position, and Google, the 8th. If this is malware, OOPS.

Norton safe web extension

True; Norton extension does not block; only Norton website detects it.
In addition, Symantec browser protection and McAfee web advisor extensions do not block.
Bypassed ControlD DNS, even with hagezi tif.
Of course SS is silent.
