It is, however it doesn't send data to google. Browser receives the list of all unsafe pages and checks against it locally
Not at all, the API also send Data to Google, its not a simple list hosted by the Browser but by Google. At least I've desactivated it, because the adblocker do the same, if you use eg uBO, it also wikk block webs with malware or fraudulent content, because these are also in the blocklists, so the save browsing API isn't really needed. Better sending data to GitHub as to Google.
