Isn't it checked against a local blocklist?

https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/firefox3_privacy... suggests it's not that simple.
They used to use a bloom filter with a regular download list, which would allow local checks without revealing every URL, but it looks like that changed at least for Chrome: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=71832

#34Wasn't that Firefox is already running bug supposed to be resolved by Firefox 30.0?

Seems like Mozilla is not following Brendan Eich's plan to differentiate "heavily" on privacy.

#37In Firefox 29 I continued to see weird font rendering issues on Windows 8.1. So much so, that I can't use FF on Windows right now. I don't see the same issues with Mavericks. Has anyone else experienced this and does it continue into this version?

I'm also a bit worried about the privacy implications of this.

There's a third way according to the feature's development documentation [0]: uncheck "Options"/"Preferences" -> "Security" -> "Block reported attack sites".

#39Firefox's developer tools are really becoming great. "Copy as CURL" for the network tab was something in chrome that I really missed. Box model view which was super handy is now editable. Console showing stack traces along errors was long due. New Canvas debugger, eyedropper are very handy.
Font viewer, responsive design tools, the 3d view (very handy in debugging silly box model issues) and highlight painted area mode (handy in optimizing visualizations) are all things I love that I haven't been able to find good analogues for in other browsers.
