this is how Firefox does it. can't speak for the rest.
I've seen this before in the ip blocklist space... if you're layering up firewall rules, you're bound to see the higher priority layers more often.
That doesn't mean the other layers suck, security isn't always an A or B situation...
On the other hand, I don't know how I feel about how GSB is implemented... you're telling google every website you go to, but chances are the site already has google analytics or SSO...
