[REVIEW] Google Safe Browsing Protection - Comments Page 2

I agree about Google and security--those two words are like oil and water.
I have noticed those warnings Bob describes on some websites (I use Firefox and Opera) but did not know that Google Safe Browsing is involved. I'm sure it's not bad having such a warning produced by Google. It's just that even seeing "Google" on anything bothers me. Oh well...

I always look for the padlock icon in my "omnibox". If I don't see it I don't trust the web site with my info.

Hilarious, all these folk telling us to use Ghostery. So I took a look and the first thing I saw was that I can't use the app because I have anti-tracking protection and their app doesn't work if I won't let them track me. They didn't even offer an option to exclude their site from anti-tracking. And no doubt after using them for x days there will be a bill to pay too (hey, they gotta live).

Bob, we need to stop using the term “SSL” when telling people about securing their web connections. The SSL protocol is very outdated and was replaced by TLS (Transport Layer Security). Indeed, we’ve been thru TLS v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 is about to go mainstream. Though SSL still exists and can be used, it is no longer considered secure. Minimum TLS 1.2 with all insecure cipher suites disabled is the new minimum for security.

I’m so happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

P.S I was also a HMA user, but when it took to activate the system for 5 hours and they requested my ID – thats enoguh – thank you, I do care about my personal stuff!
