Netcraft's Toolbar uses excellent Anti-Phishing Technology.

For Example: 
1. It gives a trust rating of a page out of 10, it shades red for the amount it find's risky. If the site has a 5 Risk rating the site is shaded red halfway.
2. Tells you how old the site or how long the site has been around.
3. Gives you the ranking of the website of every URL in it's database (not 100% accurate but you get the idea). It's around 80% accurate.
4. Shows the flag of the nation where the site is hosted and the nations name beside it.
5. Names the server where the site is hosted.

These are just defenses to aviod unknown phishing sites, it blocks URLS that Netcraft Confirms as a phishing site.

Not just this it prevents various other attacks similar to phishing attacks.

Netcraft Toolbar is simply the best at blocking phishing sites (tried Google Safe Browsing and the new IE7 Beta 2).

Firefox 2.0 should implement something similar to this. Phishing sites URLS should also be in red (just like Yellow is for Secure).

This is might be too much, be we must evolve along with the world.
