Aside: do you keep Safe Browsing on? I always turn it off, as I'm pretty wise to phishing / download buttons etc. I don't know how much of a performance increase there is, but I'm sure I've saved quite a few seconds from not having it on.
- tgv 5y agoI have it on, but I can only remember one time it warned me, and that was when I knowingly opened a potentially malicious page (after a colleague had clicked a suspicious email). I'm always doubting about turning it off: Google is not your friend. But I'm not even sure how it works. I did read that Apple proxies it on iOS, so I suppose Firefox does expose part of the URL and your IP address.
