Publisher's Description
From Google:
Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That's why it's important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.

"Mandatory for Firefox"
Version: Google Safe Browsing 1.1
Pros
Extremely excellent product! Simple and provides a test page. Advanced URL Sending feature can be enabled to provide a community of protection. You can also repost phishing. A really good thing about this is that it is NOT compatible with Internet Explorer, only Firefox!
Cons
When Firefox 2 comes out with phishing filter, people will not need this anymore (don't know of new versions).
