I haven't seen much discussion on this list about safebrowsing, but
you have changed that recently (and almost single-handedly: of the
four threads which mention safebrowsing in the subject line in the
past year, you started three of them).  There might be things in the
archives that I've missed, please feel free to search e.g.

Your problem report looks well put together, but I wonder if there
might be a better place to post it.  Is there no means of support set
up by the coders who produced those utilities?

I'm sure such discussions would be welcome here, but I don't know how
much experience people on this list will have of using the Python code
which you're using because it isn't a part of the ClamAV distribution.

As I think I told you recently, I abandoned the safebrowsing database
when it ceased to be part of the official ClamAV database set, largely
because up to that time its performance in the circumstances facing me
had been less than stellar and I couldn't justify the effort in trying
to continue to use it.

Do you have any performance stats that you could share with us?
