Didn’t windows 23h2 have built in link checker for known sites this blocking most bad sites? Bc most avg person uses edge bc don’t know how to get xyz. Also some 3rd party browsers come with build in blockers etc. so by this logic if ppl update then leas scams online even from email bc the link gets checked. I ran tests on this and it works. Also ms lets you pick the dns now if you want more doing the setup if you want want it (not default)
also ios has option to only allow only ppl in contacts and gov to call text and you can set to allow certain countries as well. I have only usa and japan. So no more out of country bs. If number isn’t reg then haha.
