Also note there is a “roulette” feature in most address bars, where the browser starts loading and rendering the site before you ever hit submit. Very handy for sites wanting to pursue persistence

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

I am all for bashing bad privacy options, but from the linked tweet at least, this IS off by default. I can certainly see enterprise scenarios where this feature is very useful for security reasons. Did I miss some context?

Edit: oh, this is in addition to the Mirror stuff. Yea this should never be a thing.

you missed the obvious one (that is actually related to the linked edge issue): SafeBrowse. SafeBrowse gets ALL your traffic from most browsers.

I agree with this, but do not think it contradicts the parent. Apple has reasonably set themselves in a position where if they were caught violating privacy in any of the ways that [ad company] is incentivized to do, they would lose a ton of money and suffer monstrous brand damage. So I think you are both right.
