Description

The 'Report Web Forgery' (IceCat main menu > Help > Report Web Forgery...) feature is intended to report potent phishing sites.

Unfortunately it has come to notice that it is sending user defined information to Google. (see the attachment for details.) In addition to this, IceCat **fails** in phishing test (http://www.itisatrap.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html) and malware test (http://www.itisatrap.org/firefox/its-an-attack.html) provided by Mozilla.[1]

Phishing and Malware protection are inoperative in Abrowser 37.0.1 too. Regardless of the settings in Preferences.
