title: Google Chrome usage of bloom filter
body: <p>I was reading an wikipedia article on the usage of Bloom Filters . It was mentioned in the article that Bloom filters are used by Google Chrome to detect whether a URL entered is malicious. Because of the presence of false positive </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Google Chrome web browser uses a Bloom filter to identify malicious URLs. Any URL is first checked against a local Bloom filter and only upon a hit ,a full check of the URL is performed</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am guessing full check means that Google stores a harsh table of the list of malicious URL and the URL is hashed to checked if it is present in the table. If this is the case , isent it better to just have the hash table instead of hash table + bloom filter??</p>
  
  <p>Please enlightened me on this , is my version of full check correct ???</p>
