SafeBrowsing works with the binary package www-client/google-chrome, but it does not work if the browser is recompiled from the source package www-client/chromium SafeBrowsing can be tested on https://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/ At least, the option should be greyed out to inform the user that the feature is not available. See also: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8273008.html NB: same problem with firefox and firefox-bin. See bug 674502.
Lei Zhang at Google says this should be fixed. Can you confirm?
I still have the problem. Am I supposed to do something to fix the problem? (e.g. recompile chromium)
No, no recompilation is necessary. The question is if your browser just didn't try to fetch SafeBrowsing data again or if it tried and failed. I don't know how you tell Chromium to update SafeBrowsing data. Maybe it is enough to delete the "Safe Browsing" folder and files in your profile's folder to trigger an update.
I created a new profile with: chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo SafeBrowsing does not work. Just in case, I recompiled it and it still does not work.
Can confirm this issue with www-client/chromium-73.0.3683.27 (current latest in the tree).
It seems this is a Chromium bug after all. They have a signedness bug in their std::char_traits<char>::compare() reimplementation. clang compiled www-client/chromium probably isn't affected as it specifically uses a different code path. Also, not every (Safe Browsing-flagged) site is affected, it depends on a particular URL hash and exact SB list content. Currently, one of affected addresses is "https://testsafebrowsing.appspot.com/s/phishing.html" Reported as https://crbug.com/941696 and attached "chromium-fix-char_traits.patch" patch there which fixes the issue for me.
