/** SAFE BROWSING (SB)
This sub-section has been redesigned to differentiate between "real-time"/"user initiated"
data being sent to Google from all other settings such as using local blocklists/whitelists and
updating those lists. There are NO privacy issues here. *IF* required, a full url is never sent
to Google, only a PART-hash of the prefix, and this is hidden with noise of other real PART-hashes.
Google also swear it is anonymized and only used to flag malicious sites/activity. Firefox
also takes measures such as striping out identifying parameters and storing safe browsing
cookies in a separate jar. (#Turn on browser.safebrowsing.debug to monitor this activity)
