As of this weekend, Google's popular Chrome browser is now blocking a few popular torrent sites if you try to access them directly.
At one point, KickassTorrents, ExtraTorrent, Torrentz and RARBG were all blocked if you tried to go to them directly from your URL bar, with each marked as a site that contains "harmful programs."
A few of the sites were able to solve the problems directly through Google's webmaster tools but some like Torrentz are still blocked.
"The site ahead contains harmful programs," reads the page. "Attackers on torrentz.eu might attempt to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit)."
All the sites have denied hosting malicious software and are expected to be back and available by the end of the weekend.
