Unable to turn on safe browsing

[ZoltanPrime]

When I try to turn on safe browsing, it tells me this setting is being enforced by my administrator. I tapped the question mark in the top right corner to get more info, but it just took me to this webpage (edit: actually I had to search for it...) which just shows me how to get to the safe browsing setting (which I already know).

It doesn't tell me how to take administrative control of this setting, and the setting is turned off by default. Am I missing something, or should I open an issue for this?

Sorry, that function is deliberately deactivated.

Ok, I wasn't sure. I'll leave it alone then. Just out of curiosity, why is it disabled? Does that feature have a privacy vulnerability if it's enabled? Do other features of Cromite just make it redundant?

to work fully it needs files to download from google servers, under api key not available.
in addition, advanced protection sends google servers a hash of the url you are looking at for verification on a proprietary list.

no, there is no active control over what you browse
