Which was why I proposed to change the EULA to a dialog that says
something like:

"Do you wish to enable phishing protection? This will require sending
communication to google but no private information will be sent unless
you tag a suspected site."
[Enable] [Disable phishing protection]

That way it's not a EULA, the user is informed, and users who don't
want to can disable phishing protection and still use firefox.
