Safe browsing uses a google service. Nowhere do we appear to warn a user that if they don't disable that feature Google tracks everywhere they browse, and may also track their searches even if they deliberately select a different search provider to avoid that. There are also several threads such as http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2711237&hilit=track where a user is concerned that Google can see what you're doing on the web if you don't log out after checking your mail on a browser. This article seems like the appropriate place to have a canned answer for those types of questions.

I suggest we also very briefly mention SSL security errors as a topic near the beginning of the article and point them to http://kb.mozillazine.org/SSL_Security_Error. From a non-technical users viewpoint it is a safe browsing issue too. Tanstaafl 04:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
