@switchingsoftware@fedifreu.de Firefox’s implementation of Safe Browsing is FOSS and privacy-respecting. We take additional measures to further improve its privacy, by proxying connections as part of it to avoid directly connecting to/exposing IP addresses to Google, as well as disabling the submission of file metadata to Google. We also have a UI setting to enable/disable Safe Browsing, and we added an option to control it on the onboarding as well, so that users are aware and can easily enable/disable it if desired. For more details on our implementation, see our documentation here: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/blob/v146.0/docs/Safe-Browsing.md. It’s deeply unfortunate that there isn’t yet a viable alternative to Safe Browsing - relying on Google at all is obviously far from ideal (maybe this is up the alley of someone like @quad9dns@mastodon.social?? please make it happen 🙏). But, in the meantime we take the necessary measures to protect the privacy of users, while of course ensuring you’re always in control and have the ability to enable or disable it to your liking.
