If you want to do that you can already knock yourself out with a custom DNS. Browsers must be neutral.
From the article:
> .top was the most common suffix in phishing websites over the past year, second only to domains ending in “.com.”
Does that mean you want to block .com domains?
- dylan604 2y ago# .top phishing websites / # .top websites total vs # .com phishing websites / # .com websites total make educated decisions
- throwaway4pp24 2y agoWhy does that matter at all? If I go and create a bunch of legitimate .top domains, is it suddenly better somehow? No, it's still the first of the list, and .com is still second.
- dylan604 2y agoyes, precisely. if you and a bazillion other people do it so that the percentage goes down. it's the fact that scammers are glomming onto a trendy TLD ruins the reputation of that TLD. If the percentage of scam is higher in one TLD over another, people will consider it a TLD used for scams. Not sure where the logic breaks down here > No, it's still the first of the list, and .com is still second. also, what do you mean .com is second? it states that .top was second to .com

It seems you’re saying if there’s a terrorist training camp with 10 terrorists and no bystanders in it, it would be unreasonable to drop a bomb on it unless we’re first willing to level the nearby city of a million people with 11 terrorists in it because it has more terrorists. Which… no.
