I recently read that Google Safe Browsing uses a cookie to track my browsing history and links the history to my IP address. In addition Google Safe Browsing downloads an NSA computer ID to my computer. Is this true?

That article is 1, very old (Firefox uses the 4th version of the Safe browsing API, that article is talking about v2).

You can read this actual article about Safe Browsing in Firefox (https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/how-safe-browsing-works-in-firefox/). It's a bit dated, but does talk about how we protect privacy.

FYI, the NSA doesn't use cookies to track you.

hi, the connection to the google safebrowsing service sets a cookie but this is a passive piece of information and can't be used to track your browsing history. firefox also keeps it sandboxed and it doesn't get exposed during normal browsing activity on google domains.

in regards to your concern about "linking web activities to my IP address" - this is just part of the fundamentals of how the internet works. if you access something online, the server at the other end needs to know your ip address in order to send back any information to the right recipient...
