Enable safe browsing (web forgeries)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This was previously disabled, as it seemed that it could leak
information by looking up visited sites from Google (see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups).

The lookup method was removed from Firefox a while ago (see
https://bugzil.la/388652) and also from this user.js in commit
3518ff0.

Safe browsing should not leak information about your browsing, for
more details, see:
#22 (comment)
