FUD is easy. How about documenting yourself on how Safe browsing actually works? Hint: urls are _never_ sent to Google. The worst thing that Google can know is that the _hash_ of /some/ url you went to, has the first n bits matching the first n bits of the hash of one (or multiple) of the known malware of phishing urls.
