The difference between the two security features is that Safe Browsing will compare a visited site to a locally stored list of domains, compared to Enhanced Safe Browser, which will check if a site is malicious in real-time against Google’s cloud services.

While it may seem like Enhanced Safe Browsing is the better way to go, there is a slight trade-off in privacy, as Chrome and Gmail will share URLs with Google to check if they are malicious and temporarily associate this information with your signed-in Google account.

    I’ll keep Gmail for any shit I might want to sign up for and use ProtonMail as my serious email account.

      Been doing this for a while now.

      I go back to Gmail every now and again to check if I’ve missed anything, it’s just a cesspool of junk and spam.

      Good to be away from it
