Does this spying effect ice cat?

Do I need to implement Safe Browsing in my own browser WITHOUT Google (using my own DB)?

I'm not able to read the post linked (I guess the server is down at the moment, and Diaspora's atrocious JavaScript-ridden nonsense has prevented the post from being cached properly by anyone), but I think I tracked down a related post on Stack Overflow. If I found what this is about, it's just the Google safe browsing thing that Firefox ships with. Abrowser and Icecat disable this.

To be clear, this feature is not malicious; its purpose is to scan a database Google has of phishing sites (or suspected phishing sites). It's just that this inherently involves sending every URI you ever enter to Google, which isn't so good for privacy. It would be better for a user to manually invoke this (like how Google searches are manually invoked).

hey don't get lost in the bush...!

So full of misleading information, it links to a question of stackoverflow from 2011.

In stackoverflow there is a reference to that bug in bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368255

And apparently was fixed with firefox 27 a long time ago...

I hope people would take the time to actually read before beliving...

But thats the way internet works, isn't?
