The version of 3.2 Safari, has as its main characteristic the protección against fraudulent websites, activated in the panel Security of the browser option, so that Safari 3.2 is a watchdog for when we visit a page "known" to be infected with viruses, trojans and others or when they try to find out our personal or financial data, protect us from these 'headaches'.
The "hard" of MacWorld They said it's about the technology Google Safe Browsing, developed by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), three years ago and that it sought to complement Firefox which was later incorporated into its version 2.0 and recently in the Chrome beta.
This technology is backed by two "Blacklists" made by Google. In one are the sites with malware and another for web pages that impersonate those who are not to obtain confidential information, these lists are stored in safebrowsing.clients.google.com. Like is logic, Google need to know the URL of the web page that we want to visit to be able to alert us if it is one of these harmful pages, so that when we use Safari from it a list of problematic addresses is downloaded. If we try to enter one of these pages, the browser encoding the complete URL and send it to Google to review it and if it is dangerous, it shows us the warning so that we do not enter.
The other side of the coin is "White list«, This list is the safe list, it includes banks, organizations and large companies mainly, but it seems that Safari does not use it, if so, we would avoid an unnecessary query to Google and we would use your pages with peace of mind.
At first, many will be nervous that their browser sends all that information without their authorization to Google, above all because Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has not reported anything about it, but there is no danger because Safari 3.2 does not send information about the page we visit unless it matches one of the list of Google.
If you are not interested in this type of protection, you just have to deactivate the relevant check box in the preferences of Safari, but I do not recommend it, it never hurts a little fullfilment of security requirements. If you have a Mac that virus are not a problem, but the pishing It can take you by surprise and mess up your life.
