And then they will choose the same block list and sites will have the same problem.

All? I doubt it. Not to mention they could offer control to override whatever you like.

    Chrome lets you override and proceed to the site. The problem for the small business is that a large fraction of their customers see the scary red warning page.

  • Well enough that it will still be a blocker.

    • Well, that goes without saying. If you want a blocker, you want a blocker. So all the nigerian princes and the like should still be blocked.

      You just don't want to give control over the blocking blacklist/whitelist to a single entity, even less so to a huge powerful one, possibly in a country other than your own (which e.g. forces their foreign policy dictums to your blacklist), and even less so the one that already makes your browser, that should be a totally neutral conduit.
