A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar?

Posted by Cliff on from the browsing-where-you-are-supposed-to-be dept.

Saqib Ali asks: "There have been recent discussions on Security Focus mailing lists about several Anti Phishing Toolbars available for Firefox. Do Slashdot readers have any recommendations on which Anti Phishing toolbar to use, or on how to improve upon the existing ones?"

    My email reader does not render HTML. When I encounter pure HTML email, I just delete it. Or bounce it back to spoof@... as eBay and PayPal have requested.

    In the unusual case (once per week) that I actually _want_ to look at a website mentioned in email, I cut'n'paste.

    HTML email is abomination. Autoload images is evil.
