I think phishing protection has been deactivated upstream in Tor Browser
for a reason and if you read how the feature works and the privacy
policy, you'll come to the decision that the decision was right. Feel
free to research that yourself and to dispute the decision, especially
in case things changed since.

Also activating features in Tails while not having them upstream in Tor
Browser is sometimes problematic (fingerprinting). I'd at least *also*
suggest the feature upstream after having researched the topic.
