So, just got a notification about google’s new enhanced safe browsing. It says: To help protect your account and data, Enhanced Safe Browsing for your account checks for risky: - URLs - Downloads - Browser extensions - System information - Small sample of pages

How it uses it:

  • Uses information from Enhanced Safe Browsing to improve your security in Google Chrome and Gmail when you’re signed in.
  • Temporarily associates information from Enhanced Safe Browsing with your Google Account when you’re signed in to help protect you across Google apps.

It seems to me as if, whenever they come up with new changes, it’s a double edged sword where they claim everything gets better and safer, while my paranoid mind just sees it as new tricks to get even more data…
