Improving Malware Detection in Firefox
blog.mozilla.orgThe metadata Firefox is sending to Google about the unsigned binaries or binaries signed by an unstrusted party include [1]:
- The target URL from which the file was downloaded, its referrer URL and any URLs in the redirect chain.
- The SHA-256 hash of the contents of the file.
Because of privacy concerns I would rather this feature not be opt-out.
