if it would work, it would talk to Google. But while it is offered in the UI, it is quite broken when enabled. When a site is requested, there’s no traffic to safebrowsing Endpoints at Google and only after timeouts will load the requested page.
Cromite, which patches /e/OS Browser imports, has the feature intentionally disabled via policy and hides it in the UI:
- cromite/build/patches/Modify-default-preferences.patch at 63888d58b55fab6873bea02b17bd3c533dfad697 · uazo/cromite · GitHub
- cromite/build/patches/add-browser-policy.patch at 63888d58b55fab6873bea02b17bd3c533dfad697 · uazo/cromite · GitHub
/e/OS only imports the first patch, but not the policy. I assume murena wants it hidden too and forgot the policies. Worth a bugreport.
