As noted in my original mail, the safe browsing mechanism does not consult a third-party service for every URL, but rather checks URLs against a periodically-updated filter. See https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/privacy/whitepaper.html#malware for more details. So, again: why? What is the purpose of disabling this user protection mechanism by default? - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
