In the medium/long term, this would just train people to ignore those popups. Or to use a patched browser.

There is simply no way to suppress content as long as there's enough demand. Somebody's always going to find a way to deliver. That's even true for really illegal stuff like drugs, copyright infringement or child abuse material, but so much more for content which is legal.

I was thinking specifically about PWA on Android. I don't think you can change the browser used in that case, and I could see Google decide that you cannot open a PWA if the website is on the blacklist.

Apple has a hard requirement that you use the safari rendering engine for all browsers. So even Firefox on iOS is really just reskined safari.

Android is much more open, you can download Firefox on Android and it will infact be Firefox.

What would be more scary is if the force all browsers on the Google store to implement and enforce the same deny list.
