And most browsers implementing these use the second form of the Safe Browsing APIs where you download hashed prefixed packs of URLs, [URL="https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4"]Overview | Safe Browsing APIs (v4) | Google Developers[/URL] As a result, instead of a single hashed URL lookup, your browser will download a large pack of definitions that encompass a lot of different URLs with the same prefix, adding a bit of extra anonymity and also resulting in fewer repeat lookups if you are visiting similar sites.
