In its early form, it was &#8220;kind of a privacy nightmare,&#8221; as Matthew Green, associate professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University, described it in a 2019 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.cryptographyengineering.com\/2019\/10\/13\/dear-apple-safe-browsing-might-not-be-that-safe\/\">blog post<\/a>. The service initially transmitted browser users&#8217; IP addresses, the full URL visited, and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/ashkansoltani.org\/2012\/02\/25\/cookies-from-nowhere\/\">set a tracking cookie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/safe-browsing\/v4\">Safe Browsing API<\/a> has improved since then in that there&#8217;s now an alternative to the URL-exposing Lookup API: The Update API allows client software (like Safari) to download an encrypted Safe Browsing list of 32-bit prefixes of SHA256 hashes (256-bits) derived from bad URLs to match against a 32-bit hash prefix of the URL the user aims to visit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2021\/01\/28\/shutterstock_google_page.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Photo of the Google page\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Chocolate Factory insists it's working on its own info usage labels, too\">We&#8217;ve got some really bad news about Apple&#8217;s privacy measures, Google tells iOS app devs: It&#8217;ll hurt your Google ad revenue<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/01\/28\/google_ios_att\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Then, if there&#8217;s a match \u2013 which may correspond with multiple full hashes \u2013 the browser transmits the matched prefix to Google&#8217;s servers, which return a list of SHA256 hashes that contain the matched prefix to test against a full hash of the requested URL.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The problem is that Safe Browsing &#8216;Update API&#8217; has never been exactly &#8216;safe,'&#8221; said Green in his blog post. &#8220;Its purpose was never to provide total privacy to users, but rather to degrade the quality of browsing data that providers collect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other security researchers have expressed similar reservations, noting that the API&#8217;s approach \u2013 a technique called <i><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/technologies\/anonymization?hl=en\">k-anonymity<\/a><\/i> \u2013 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.trailofbits.com\/2019\/10\/30\/how-safe-browsing-fails-to-protect-user-privacy\/\">can be defeated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Green said the privacy community had reconciled itself to the tradeoffs, allowing that Google might glean more information from those implementing and using Safe Browsing in exchange for reducing potential exposure to fraudulent or malicious websites.<\/p>\n<p>But he was less sanguine about Apple&#8217;s disclosure in 2019 that the company was sending the same information <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/reclaimthenet.org\/apple-safari-ip-addresses-tencent\/\">to Tencent in China<\/a>, where privacy risks are magnified due to limits on political speech.<\/p>\n<p>As Apple explains in its macOS Safari <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/safari\/security-ibrw1074\/mac\">help documentation<\/a>, &#8220;Before you visit a website, Safari may send information calculated from the website address to Google Safe Browsing to check if the website is fraudulent. If you have China mainland set as your region in the Language &amp; Region pane of System Preferences, Safari may also use Tencent Safe Browsing to do this check.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In an email to <i>The Register<\/i>, Green expressed cautious optimism about the iOS 14.5 change, even if it doesn&#8217;t address his past criticism of Apple&#8217;s mercurial disclosure and communication habits.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Proxying is definitely an improvement because it hides IP addresses from the services in China that resolve these queries,&#8221; Green said.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-md=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YCYJNOysHkOOOeHTv7sztgAAAEw&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YCYJNOysHkOOOeHTv7sztgAAAEw&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m not sure it entirely solves the problem, and I\u2019d need to think about it.
