That is a very bad idea. I sympathize with the idea of the project, but please think twice before meddling in security things. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9779990 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9779990 I filed an issue to explain the risks: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/50 https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/50

I have no interest in my urls being sent to google for "security checking" (I am aware of the hashing)

  Then you can disable SafeBrowsing in Chromium's settings. My point is that disabling it without warning users about the risks of doing so is a bad idea. If you make an informed decision to disable it, I won't try to stop you.

Then run your own safe browsing list. Connecting to a foreign company in a country that directly threatened you with invasion and relying on that for webbrowsing is not acceptable.

  Well and how would I go about that? Your suggestion doesn't make any sense because it's not viable. There's a setting to disable SafeBrowsing in Chromium, too. You can just disable that. But force-disabling it is dangerous. I'm not sure what your point you're trying to make with the invasion comment.

    > I'm not sure what your point you're trying to make with the invasion comment. My argument is that browsers aren’t just used in private use, but also in governments, in military companies, etc. If you rely on anything phoning home to a company that’s in the country of a potential enemy, that’s a very stupid idea. (And thanks to the Den Hague Invasion Act of 2001, even Europe knows the US doesn’t give a fuck about allies) > Well and how would I go about that? Your suggestion doesn't make any sense because it's not viable. Well, ask Google. It’d be viable if they had intended for an actual safety infrastructure, and published the required information to self host, and not just another way to phone home.
