Yesterday I installed Iridium. I receive this notifications often. The version is 43.4 on OS X. It appears on most pages I visit.

I don't understand what is it, thought I tried to do the search. I saw several mentions of "trk URL"s in the release history but no description for end user, no FAQ or wiki. I guess it has something to do with tracking techniques incorporated in Chromium.

If it says that I'm tracked then I probably should expect the tracking parts to be deleted in next releases. Otherwise I don't understand why this thing shows up at least because a user is not meant to make a decision except closing the bar. Why bother than?

trk 165 is the safebrowsing database. Changing/removing this is already tracked in #10.

We assigned unique trk ids to each request that connects to Google to help finding the origin in the codebase, so we can remove them over the next releases.
