> You can switch it off, but you probably shouldn't

You really should disable it because Google cannot be allowed to be the gatekeeper of the internet. The list contains tons of non-malicious URLs [0] and Google has absolutely no incentive to remove them. And even if you haunt them enough to do so the same broken process that added it in the first place will just add it again. Any browser that enables this list by default is actively making the web a worse place an engaging in mass-defamation.

[0] Example: dgVoodoo2 downloads from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/

> It does NOT contain any malware. Use a browser that is free of Google Shit Browsing security service crap (which is based on tons of noname antivirus "engines", look at VirusTotal if interested).
