As far as I know currently Firefox checks a local downloaded list, not
directly. Am I wrong?
As I understand it, if Firefox hits a positive on the downloaded list of
URL hash prefixes, it asks Google for the full hash so it can do a
proper comparison. However, we ask for four other random hashes at the
same time so it's not clear what exact site you visited.
Uhmm, interesting, I didn't know about this.
It would be nice to have a document where this is explained and see how we
can explain it easily to users concerned about their privacy,

It looks like we already have documentation where this is explained,
including a link to technical details that will probably be undigestible
to most humans. What more are you asking for?
