iOS 14.5 不再使用 Google 的“欺诈网站警告”服务

什么是 Safe Browsing？

• iOS 的 Safari 浏览器有一个设置选项“Fraudulent Website Warning”。iPhone Settings -> Safari -> Privacy & Security - Fraudulent Website Warning。

• Firefox 浏览器也有一个设置选项“Deceptive Content and Dangerous Software Protection”。

• Chrome 浏览器也有一个“Safe Browsing”选项。

这些都是 Safe Browsing 设置，都是 Google 提供的服务。

它是如何工作的呢？

In order to provide this feature, Apple relies on Google's "Safe Browsing," a database/blocklist of websites crawled by Google of websites that it deems to be suspected phishing or scam. In practice Google sends Safari a list of hashed prefixes of URLs that it determines to be malicious/phishing, Safari then checks the website you're trying to visit against the list from Google. Any match in hashed prefix will cause Safari to request the full URL link from Google, and by using the hashed prefix, Google never sees the website's URL you're trying to go to.

我的手机和电脑浏览器都禁止了这项服务，因为我根本不需要 Google 来帮忙查看我访问的网址是否安全，我自己知道我在做什么。

个人信息会泄露过 Google 吗？

While Google doesn't know which specific URL you're trying to visit, it may collect your IP address during its interaction with Safari.

Apple 与 Google 脱钩

Apple 公司打算从 iOS 14.5 起不再使用 Google 的此项服务，而是通过自己的技术来判断恶性网站，请看这篇报道。

Apple 公司在保护用户数据和隐私方面不遗余力地进行改进。
