I don't think, that's right. First of all, it also sends my IP address, by definition. Then, in the URL being requested there is this looooong wrkey variable, which looks like a unique ID to me, mabye it's the google cookie by which google tracks each browser.. do you know for sure what it is? This one: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/downloads?client=Iceweasel&appver=3.0.6&pver=2.2&wrkey=AKEgNiuhoOEmKsbgcf26JrVQOcsFTiymVIKMPFtbUtKZ4TKeNsA_RU9P1-BAJvw0hcFHm4vwwnXmvNuUsYZGzh7qJaK35U-xow== Can you please add a note to README.Debian (or somewhere similar) to document this?

Well, the feature might be broken currently, but still my browser sends data without my consent. And, as the feature is broken, even completly uselessly violates my privacy. cheers, Holger
