Seems like a bad idea turning off phishing notifications and browser warnings

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.enabled Firefox 2.0 incorporates the Google Safe Browsing extension in its own Phishing Protection feature to detect and warn users of phishy web sites.

I think using a blocker extension like uBlock Origin restores (at least partially) this functionality without involving Google.

Right, but then you're just changing who you leak data to, you're not stopping the leak.

EDIT: wow, downvotes? Getting a list from EasyList is just as much a leak as getting a list from Google. Someone has your IP either way.

It does send your IP address to Google, when you download the filter. And I can't tell if "Enhanced Protection" is enabled which actually sends your URLs to Google.
