Ah I was wrong about this!!! SafeBrowse uses hashes.

Edit: never be afraid to admit your were wrong folks :) So it only gets a “potential list” of sites you visited. Wonder if the operators could aggregate the data enough to deanonymize things

The hash isn't even necessarily transmitted, and it's often partial hashes at that.
