On many Google searches https://freecad.github.io/ comes up. Is this site associated with Freecad and is it a safe site?
Re: freecad.github.io
It is. Subdomains of Github.io are dynamically generated sites coming from GH repo : https://github.com/FreeCAD/freecad.github.io
This said, this looks more like a test done some years ago and that stay as was without any update.

Re: freecad.github.io
You can expect to see some additional things there Coming Soon™
Re: freecad.github.io
This is weird:
https://freecad.github.io/ shows clean on Virustotal.
But https://github.com/FreeCAD/freecad.github.io shows one hit on Virustotal.
Are the above two different domains (sites)?

Re: freecad.github.io
They are different sites, one is the github.com page for a repository hosted there, the other is a webpage generated from the contents of said repository and hosted on github servers.
The virus total thing looks like a false positive though, I mean MicroSoft isn't exactly a privacy respecting company but I doubt they outright ship malware intentionally on github.com. The whole domain is likely flagged because other people do use github to host malware so some companies likely prefer to block their employees from accessing it.
