  One way to prevent Chrome from blocking downloads related to cryptocurrencies is by adding the website or file URL to the browser's whitelist. To do this, go to Chrome settings, then click on 'Privacy and security' and select 'Site Settings'. Scroll down to 'Permissions' and click on 'Additional permissions'. From there, you can add the URL to the 'Allow' list, which will prevent Chrome from blocking any downloads from that website or file.

  If you're using Chrome and experiencing issues with downloads related to cryptocurrencies, you can try disabling the browser's Safe Browsing feature. To do this, go to Chrome settings, then click on 'Privacy and security' and select 'Security'. From there, you can toggle off the 'Safe Browsing' option. Keep in mind that disabling this feature may increase your risk of encountering malicious downloads, so make sure to exercise caution when downloading files related to cryptocurrencies.

  At BYDFi, we recommend using a different browser, such as Firefox or Brave, to prevent Chrome from blocking downloads related to cryptocurrencies. These browsers often have more lenient security settings and are less likely to block legitimate downloads. Additionally, using a trusted antivirus software can help identify and prevent any potentially harmful downloads.
