Well ok if we go down this road, then you should also ask to disable

not very well know call home to check for malware feature. That feature

blacklisted sites and I am not sure what it sends there.
Unfortunately you have to go in about:config to change anything about
that IIRC.
This is slightly different too. The safe browsing list itself is not a ping
-- it's only pulled down and checked locally. There's only a "ping"
when
there is a match, and that ping uses a hashed partial copy. Google also
claims in a FAQ that log data is "retained only for a period of weeks",
although notably they don't say this in the actual privacy policy (which has
been subsumed into the Chrome browser privacy policy).
