Not having an app does not mean that the mobile interface doesn't work.

Until Apple decides to update Safari to block it.

Please point out which websites have been blocked in browsers.

Interestingly, at least Google doesn't seem to actually just their Safe Browsing list; not sure why.

At this point - do you really think Apple is above this?

This is not a good argument, please go back to the drawing board.

You are making the extraordinary claim, so you are the one that needs to provide evidence.

No browser vendor has blocked any sites in the way you are describing. Not Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or IE. At best, you'll get a warning when you are about to hit a malware site, but that's about it. You can click right past it.

So no, what you are saying is ridiculous, and you should really feel uniformed and silly for suggesting it was likely.

Chrome and Safari both use Google's "Safe Browsing Database" which outright blocks phishing scam sites. How long until this is expanded to "hate sites" because they "aren't safe"?
