Google Safe Browsing Layers

[Bill W]

I currently have GSB enabled on the following:

NextDNS (default option)
- NextDNS claim that they strip privacy stuff from their lookups.
ESET
- I believe this that they are the GSB source
Google Chrome
- GSB enabled by default.

My question is can I turn off NextDNS and Chrome without compromising performance?

I thought ESET only provided the bad-extension lists to Google, not the bad-URL list

You're right. I don't know if ESET provide Google with bad extension list, but I'm pretty sure that the bad-URL list is not provided by ESET.

AFAIK Eset's components are run only as on demand scans and do not provide any real time protection. They check for bad extensions and other unwanted software...

ESET provides the engine for Chrome's Cleanup Tool, which only detects software that goes against Google's Unwated Software Policy.
Malicious sites and extensions are managed by Google themselves.

Disabling or enabling lists in NextDNS don't change anything in performance. It's done on server side
