This concept has come up in some discussions around whether it's okay for us to ship a list of adult/porn sites as clear text with Firefox. If we do want to prevent users from having a list of questionable sites on their computer, using a bloom filter can indeed avoid the problem.

Having a list could power other features such as porn-browser or the opposite with parental-control browser. Although not quite the topic of discussion here.

Do people have thoughts on whether it's okay to have a plaintext list of sites either as source or packaged as part of Firefox?
