Maybe - but most of those compromised domains are not domains which the 
user would normally go to.

So, even if the link is to a 'legitimate' domain, the vast majority 
would be to domains which the user does not recognise. So, it would 
catch those.

Remember, the idea wasn't to have a 'global' list of 'good domains', but 
ones which the *user* has whitelisted, so the user recognises them.
