Is it safe to use BitShares-PTS online wallet? ( is it as secure as a bitcoin blockchain wallet? )
No one can guarantee the safety of any wallet.....including the blockchain wallet. The general consensus is that a wallet on your own system would be the safest. Where is the online wallet?

bitsharesfan, that looks like a scam site... I'd get rid of the wallet. (Unless you're here to promote it, of course)
I've asked about it here. (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12956.msg170259#msg170259)

BitShares PTS is a Bitcoin clone...
Even if it wasn't for PTS-PoW I wouldn't trust it.

I am not here to promote it, thank you for the advice!
Bitcoin blockchain online wallet is an open source and it doesn't store the private keys on their servers, with that said, I wouldn't use them either. In an online wallet you don't know who owns your BTS, in any time the site is not available you won't be able to spend your BTS, I suggest you use a desktop wallet for better transparency and privacy.
my advice is to only use the wallets from the github's releases
