Let's be real here: Google doesn't need a "safe browsing" list to control website access.
The vast majority of people, when they want to visit a website, go to Google, type in the name of the website, hit search, then click the top result.
Address bar? WTF is an address? WTF is a bar?

Let's also not forget tech enthusiasts and professionals all advise using 8.8.8.8. Guess what: Google literally owns your DNS requests.
there's an enormous difference between people not being able to find a site they don't know about and breaking bookmarks and existing links
yes, it's true that google has a lot of power
