We're in the process of integrating the extension as a global extension on the trunk. When it lands, we can figure out whether this is something we want to use as a base for an anti-phishing feature in Firefox. Of course, whether it is shipped or even enabled is still a matter for discussion, as is the final form the extension might take, its UI, how it is enabled, and the like.
We've landed this change on the trunk as a global extension as of 7 March 2006. The next steps are to figure out whether this is something we want to use as the base for an anti-phishing feature in Firefox. Of course, whether it is shipped or even enabled is still a matter for discussion, as is the final form the extension might take, its UI, how it is enabled, and the like.


The design of Safe Browsing is found in the [[Safe Browsing: Design Documentation]].
