Doesn't Safe Browsing require every URL you visit to be sent to G$$gle first? I know Chrome users "have nothing to hide", but this looks like complete surrender.

Chrome automatically reports URLs and some page content to Google if "Help improve security on the web for everyone" is enabled. This is not enabled by default, even if 'help make Chrome better' is checked before install.

There is the expected privacy-surrendering API in which you send all your URLs to Google, and a more defensible one in which you download some sort of database to then query locally: https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4
I don't know what the implementation actually looks like in chrome, but it could work on a blacklist that's stored locally and updated on a regular basis.
No, it does local checks first, then only checks the full URL if there's a high probability of a match: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/safebro...
why would it?
chrome can just load $black_list from time to time and just perform local check
