Only part of a hash of the url is sent to get an update for all the URLs in the partial match block. The actual url is never sent.
The exception is when download malware protection is on. In that case, when downloading a file the actual URL is sent. That's a regular preference, though ("Block dangerous downloads"), doesn't need about:config changes, and is well described in the help docs.

- kodablah 8y agoYes, my mistake, I should correct to "only checked". Still makes an internet call to a third party (as does the original hash list download) which I think the OP is wanting to avoid w/ the settings updates, but yes, URL not sent to list maintainer.
- Drdrdrq 8y agoStill - it is unsettling that the only browser available that somewhat respects privacy, sends anything to some 3rd party, and completely unacceptable that they send it to Google.
