 It's okay with me. I do have the Snowflake badge embed on a bunch of pages
 across www.bamsoftware.com. (But https://transparencyreport.google.com
 /safe-browsing/search returns positive even for nonexistent subdomains, so
 it seems like a whole-domain block rather than something heuristic for
 individual pages.)  If it's not Snowflake but something else that they
 don't like, that's good news, we only need to get a new domain name for
 Snowflake stuff.
