This is a meme list.

Of those only beacon, media p2p and webgl can't be controlled from settings and are enabled by default.

loop.enabled doesn't even exist, because Hello support was pulled in version 49. Many of these settings are redundant and the list has been compiled by someone who doesn't understand what they are doing.

or maybe you don't understand how it works?

it doesn't send your urls or content anywhere, it just downloads a huge list of hashes to locally compare downloaded files against

And according to some anonymous faggot, an 2011 article if still relevant. What's your point? WebGL has been made much safer by njewia/ayymd, with latest drivers it's not an issue anymore. The burden of proof is on you.

>>61536802
that's wrong. Plus safebrowsing is spyware

Firefox has a feature called “safe browsing” which reports information about your browsing to Google. This “feature” can be turned off by going to Tools > Options, clicking the Security tab, and unchecking “Block reported attack sites” and “Block reported web forgeries.”

>Note: The Safe Browsing feature in Firefox has been renamed to Phishing Protection, but it's still known as Safe Browsing internally.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Safe_Browsing

In other words: safebrowsing disabled works but it won't redirect you to google servers, it works by blocking cookies which is the only thing you need

Why in this world would you use safebrowsing?

>>61537620
Please reply, but only in logical way, as according to Mozilla, this anti-fishing protocol does regularly download a list of bad sites (using this protocol). It only contacts Google with site information when the user visits a site that is on the list. It does this in order to prevent false positives.

Safebrowsing

Enabled = Compare visited URLs against a blacklist or submit URLs to a third party to determine whether a site is legitimate. (Default)
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.enabled

Translating: Google checks every url you visit and compare to their blacklist.

You are either a stupid leftist retard that will never understand things correctly or you are baiting me.

SAFEBROWSING IS NOT PRIVATE BROWSING YOU DUMB

Why would anyone enable this?

>>61537644
To use WebGL supported websites. If you don't use them, just disable it, as you won't need to. Simple as that.

Sorry, but you're posting an article not updated from 2013, which is obsolate and not official (mozillazine.org, which is just public Mozilla Wiki).

According to Mozilla, this anti-fishing protocol does regularly download a list of bad sites (using this protocol). It ONLY CONTACTS Google with site information when the user visits a site that is on the list. It does this in order to prevent false positives.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work
"What information is sent to Mozilla or its partners when Phishing and Malware Protection are enabled?

There are two times when Firefox will communicate with Mozilla’s partners while using Phishing and Malware Protection for sites. The first is during the regular updates to the lists of reporting phishing and malware sites. No information about you or the sites you visit is communicated during list updates. The second is in the event that you encounter a reported phishing or malware site. Before blocking the site, Firefox will request a double-check to ensure that the reported site has not been removed from the list since your last update. This request does not include the address of the visited site, it only contains partial information derived from the address. "

>>61537721
But you won't see any WebGL features, as you disable it... I use it without any issues, mostly games.

>>61537776
>Sorry, but you're posting an article not updated from 2013
because that's the latest version of the google anti-phishing feature (v4 updated in 2013)

You would know it if you weren't a leftist redditor trash, but your brain simply follow this rule:

1) Google protection (oy vey very good thank you google xD)
2) Oh Firefox enables google superior protection! I love free software I love this small company I love those dedicated coders :}
3) I don't care if google tracks my urls to check their blacklist database because it protects me.
4) What if google don't update their engine since 2013? What matters is that I'm protected ;)

So you believe outdated information on not official website (MozillaZine Wiki, which is public wiki and everyone can edit it), instead of public official Mozilla statement that you're wrong.
Kids this days and their blog information and YT movies with yellow subtitles.

>We are currently working on integrating V4 in our code base with a incremental approach. That is, we will be landing V4 patches progressively and leave the V2 stack up and running until the V4 is extensively tested and the Shavar server has been upgraded to V4. In other words, V2 and V4 will co-exist for a while to ensure we don't break Safe Browsing

You are the idiot. There are no any privacy or security issues when you use Safe Browsing. If it is, just report the bug on the Bugzilla.

Phishing protection works by comparing two urls - the one you visit with the one on google's database

You don't even understand what ''fishing'' is.
Leftist kids should just stay quiet and don't leave reddit.
