History: V4 is done
[http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/safebrowsing/ Google Safe Browsing] was an anti-phishing extension released by Google on [http://labs.google.com/ labs.google.com] in December 2005. Google has released this extension to the Mozilla Foundation under MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 in order that it might be used as part of Firefox if desired. We've landed this change on the trunk as a global extension as of 7 March 2006. You can read the discussion that lead up to to its integration in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329292
Google started migrating their Safe Browsing to [https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/index version 4 of the protocol] in 2015. We are currently working on integrating V4 in completed our code base with a incremental approach. That is, we will be landing V4 patches progressively and leave the V2 stack up and running until the V4 is extensively tested and the [[Services/Shavar|Shavar]] server has been upgraded to V4. In other words, V2 and V4 will co-exist for a while to ensure we don't break Safe Browsing. See [[Security/Safe_Browsing/V4_Implementation|the V4 implementation plan]] for the milestones in late 2017 and bugs involvedshipped it in Firefox 56 via a Shield gradual roll-out.
