Google should detect and block the buttons, not display full-screen warnings.

What next? "This site contains controversial views"? Or "Politically incorrect website ahead"?

Google can't block elements on sites it does not control.

Warning users of phishing and warning users of speech that it finds objectionable are 2 different things entirely.

A deceptive button does not equal phishing. It just might (and most often does) open a non-malicious popup with some ad. (non-malicious in a sense it won't install ransomware to your PC)

And of course Google can easily integrate it's own ad blocker in Chrome if it chooses so.
