[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 865991, member: 39702"] Users probably be like [I]"so what?!?! everyone collects data"[/I], and I'm like [I]"then why are you using "privacy-oriented" web browser"[/I]? [IMG]https://i.giphy.com/media/12msOFU8oL1eww/giphy.gif[/IMG] Why? Google SafeBrowsing doesn't collect URL of every page you visit, nor it sends to Google in any way. Instead, it downloads a list containing malicious websites every time you launch the browser, and checks for a match locally, on your device. If it finds a match, only part of URL is hashed and sent to Google, so even they don't know exact website you've visited. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_1.png"]234904[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
