Sophos Endpoint Security and Control - is Web protection safe to disable?

Hi,

I found this in the documentation:

Sophos Web Protection provides enhanced protection against web threats by preventing access to locations that are known to host malware. It blocks endpoints access to such sites by performing a real-time lookup against Sophos's online database of malicious websites.

We had some problems with Sophos Web Protection (swi_ifslsp.dll) that made Google Chrome browser crash when we worked with our in-house MAM (Media Asset Management) web application.

I'd like to know if it's safe to disable this feature on our endpoints from a security perspective.

Note that this feature works well with Firefox, but for a reason we're still trying to figure, it's not the case with Chrome.
