All the browser have lists of websites that are automatically updated periodically in the background.
To give a non controversial example, there is a list of "phishing and malware domains". It's been going on for a very long time.
- kodablah 9y agoI don't think it's completely fair to compare "Safe Browsing Lists" to ad blocking. While I agree and don't like that Google is a gatekeeper of those, it's sparingly used in my experience. Lists like these would require much more maintenance and oversight. I suppose you could say it is similar in how the lists might be updated, which IIRC is via an "extension"-like updating mechanism via crx update files.
