It's pretty benign. I'm not sure "warning you about potential phishing sites" is the sort of surprise they were trying to move away from. Would you consider being warned of a revoked SSL certificate a surprise too?

I suppose not, but it's not the feature I find surprising, it's that it's a Google service in a browser I picked because it's not a Google product. Yeah, I know, the SSL revoking is a service provided by each of the certificate providers, so it's sort of the same thing.
Google search is in Firefox as well, but it's not surprising, it's kinda obvious really. They could do so similar with the anti-phishing/malware thing. On the phising site warning just write "This is a Google provided service, click to opt-out".
