0.1 - initial commit
0.2 - removed mention of Reader mode (it doesn't leak data*) and added browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups (it is confrmed to stop leaking data to Google while keeping Safe Browsing on*)
0.3 browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups turned out to do nothing after all. Actually, it was removed. Requests to the Google Safe Search API are not made often, so at first I thought they were gone.
