Sounds like refactoring the code into various modules should make this aspect of the codebase much more manageable in the future.<br /><br />Superb!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11746479924685489901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232577621384962517.post-85298516101609637712012-02-07T02:37:12.709+01:002012-02-07T02:37:12.709+01:00We have offered the new Safe Browsing features to ...We have offered the new Safe Browsing features to Mozilla in the past, so to say that we are holding back this functionality is inaccurate. From our conversations, our understanding is that Mozilla is still waiting for more data from Google about the effectiveness of our new technology, and is considering those benefits against the limited circumstances in which their users would send URLs to Google for scanning (this only happens if a page looks sufficiently suspicious or an executable download is not whitelisted). This new protection, which is designed to detect new phishing pages as well as malicious downloads, was highlighted recently on our Chromium Blog in more detail: http://blog.chromium.org/2012/01/all-about-safe-browsing.html. We believe this is a reasonable solution for Chrome users, and Microsoft takes a similar approach in Internet Explorer that involves sending URLs to Microsoft. The offer remains for Mozilla to have access to our new APIs for Firefox should they decide that it's in the best interests of their users.Ian Fettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783364979383519456noreply@blogger.com
