Epic Browser was the only one I came across that didn't flag/blacklist links.
That said, there shouldn't be the need to Install a browser for the sole purpose of using the service.
Browsers shouldn't blacklist Pomfs, just because a few files are malicious. I checked the list of Pomf clones, and at least 5-10 are blocked by Malwarebytes or browser. AVs, fair enough. Browsers shouldn't block links.

Agree.
Furthermore, they cannot differentiate false positives, hence that's also part of the (blacklist) equation.
