Im tempted to try this one.It uses google safe browsing i assume.

SlimJet has a setting called "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" under the Privvacy part of Settings. Under Privace settings there is a link to learn more about the privacy settings ... and when clicking on that link it shows this information for the "Protect you" setting ...

  • About this feature: Get an instant alert whenever the browser detects that the website you're going to may be harmful.
  • Information that is sent: When you visit a website, Chrome checks it against a list of known-bad websites stored on your computer. If the URL matches anything on the list, your browser sends a partial copy of the URL to Google to decide if you're visiting a risky site.

So as long as you have that setting active my guess would be yeah it will. :) ( Unless you use a DNS service like Norton or something, as I do. )

If you use "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" then it will send a partial URL to Google so yeah it will not be totally private. Just simply keep the box next to "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites" unchecked and you will have more privacy. :)

Also they way you asked I assumed that was what you wanted?
