Description:

Safari 3.2 introduced an anti-phishing feature. How does it work? I don't know. Apple has not documented it. How are we supposed to trust it if we don't know how it works? Some people on the internet have said that it downloads information from Google and puts a database somewhere in "/var/folders". How often, if ever, does Safari 3.2 contact Google, and what information does it provide to Google? This needs to be documented.
