I'm more concerned about the opt-out "safe browsing" feature CCing Google on all your requests, complete with ID cookie. When did that cease to be a cardinal sin? Didn't Palm get reamed for that recently?
- studer 16y agoIt doesn't do that on all your requests, does it? I thought everyone did that via local bloom table (or similar structure), and checking with a central backend only when it gets a potential hit.
- extension 16y agoMy bad, it does not appear to be hitting the safe browsing service on every request but just a few times soon after the first request of a session. I guess it's probably just updating the bloom filter. They're still not off the hook for doing autocomplete on the server by default. That effectively gives them every typed in URL.
