It is per default active, but uses per default a local list and no external provider for me. Its goal is to check for fishing sites or other sites which try to harm you. The URL is checked against a local list (or the providers list) and after that, the browser does give out a warning, if the site is on the list. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBR12E3Ru5KnE1iZBnAQqtSQP+LaynGHKuN63ZtR5Y0wwnfKbX/2ZbxOS/ 4ZNVNOal2OxkdkPm464O3GK1PB3WdL5EGUlRVJnzVdNMwuV63s50FHVuMykex8ov 36hNylV7cnOTKpCvSJLLC0jXIe+ISTcKFNlyrGtH5p8NSb/GEcMEMDYY6cbkdiKM 3q73qFtsZis= =RGuK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
