From my understanding of the algorithm, you can't really leverage safe browsing properly without being willing to check the full hash via an internet call at some point. So might as well have it off or on. An extremely paranoid user might not want a safe-browsing download to occur at all, informing Google when their computer is on. These are paranoid stances, but it is a list of settings for that. I use a Chromium-based browser that doesn't use safe browsing lists and I accept the risks.
