The difference between the two security features is that Safe Browsing will compare a visited site to a locally stored list of domains, compared to Enhanced Safe Browser, which will check if a site is malicious in real-time against Google’s cloud services.
While it may seem like Enhanced Safe Browsing is the better way to go, there is a slight trade-off in privacy, as Chrome and Gmail will share URLs with Google to check if they are malicious and temporarily associate this information with your signed-in Google account.

The old gmail interface has no ads, no nags, and loads a helluva lot faster. It’s accessed through the link in the far bottom right while the interface is loading. Might take a few tries to hit it.
Fairmail is the way
Since a few days, lots of German users (and others?) are having problems syncing their third party email accounts with Gmail on Android.
When this started happening to me, i switched over to k-9 mail. With news like that I’m happy I made the switch. Will either stay with k-9 or check out fairmail next, but won’t be going back to Gmail even if it starts working again.
FairEmail has been interesting (I like the tracking protections) but its interface is definitely not as polished as K-9.
