What browser is this?

Chrome will try its best to not let me download .zip files containing .exe files.

Ive never heard of an exemption on virus warnings. If I upload an exe to a github repo and try to download it, chrome will warn me that it's not commonly downloaded. Same for Google drive - even if it's scanned for viruses, chrome might throw a warning that requires you go to the downloads page and allow it.
