#112How do you tell safari to ignore this list? When i want to go to discord safari insists on discoverykids.com.

Can you buy the domain and redirect them?
Periodically searching this list for purchasable domains seems like something scammers would be very very interested in. Honestly, apple should be making sure every one of these URLs goes to a live website and that the website is still exactly the website they intended it to be.

How could they realistically do that?

That's a hoax just like the "ok hand gesture" = "white power" debate. It started as a joke on 4ch, now everyone (even big tech) believes in it because of a few thousand (social) media reposts.

> Ugh, I guess that's why the iOS browsers all suck so hard with autocomplete? No. Contrary to popular belief, browsers on iOS aren’t all Safari skins. They all use WebKit, but there’s a vast amount of functionality in a web browser that isn’t handled by the rendering engine. This is one example. Non-Safari browsers on iOS are free to use whatever address bar implementation they like. If Firefox on iOS has a crap add…
>No. Contrary to popular belief, browsers on iOS aren’t all Safari skins. I know some people hate Apple for both good and bad reasons, but it's pretty wild to me people think Apple does this. I mean right out the gate that would be pretty illegal, no?
It would not be illegal. In fact the iPhone launched with only Safari.
Because Apple is selling the hardware device, they can decide what software they ship on it. This is not specific to phones, it’s true of all hardware. There’s no feature to load arbitrary browsers onto a PlayStation, for example.

I am sure they can find a way with tens of billions in quarterly revenue.

#120It looks like the list is very old. Tutanota.de is on it, but we've switched to using tutanota.com years ago...
