[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 858907, member: 82776"] [USER=39702]@Marko :)[/USER] Yes Google has Safe Browsing Protection and yes that sends only hashes, while Microsofts Smartscreen sends full URL's that is why I said all things being equal (except). Many people use Google automatic login to sync stuff and get the comfort of a single user signon to all services and apps using Google Identification Platform. Facebook provides a similar service. Even when you opt out Facebook and Google are not stopping data collection, they just limit the data provided to their partner network. The question marks refers to the scope and width Facebook and Google argue that the collected data is needed to 'optimize' their services. In an ideal world Google and Facebook do collect just what is needed when you opt-out, privacy paranoids say that history shows that F+G always crossed the line, so it is naive to believe them on their word.
