The real value of software based business comes from scale. The marginal cost to serve one more customer is close to zero. That is the main reason for big bets and valuation.

It is wrong in so many levels. Couple of years back we were talking google may send you an email advertising cremation services based on your email history. It is becoming a reality. The worrying part is upright, honest googlers are supporting it whole heartedly.

You are trivializing the underlying issue here. If the same thing happened in a physical world it will be a high profile public defamation case.

Browser is the window through people sees the world. That’s the reality we live in. In our target market, Google chrome holds 40% market share. Because of its stupid categorization, in one stroke Google harmed our reputation and the reputation of companies we serve. It is not a simple browser compatibility issue. Google chrome is telling the world our software is phishing software while we are not. What is the recourse here?

We don’t care what Chrome’s algorithms are. But the results are not factual and it harms our business. "One cannot escape saying hey that is our algorithm. We don’t do evil…" Remember.

Just one more thing. Since our product is self-hosted by our customers under their own domain, white listing just our development domain is unlikely to help our cause.

A request to YC mods. It seems like this post is getting flagged. This issue is really a big risk for our startup and we will appreciate if you allow the post to get the visibility it deserves.
