IIRC someone wrote one for Firefox, but it was implemented brokenly. I think a browser plug in is a great idea, but I'd be a little concerned about the new DNS queries it would generate.

How does anyone else feel, particularly operators of our public nameservers?

What would be the goal of a browser plugin?

To warn the browser's user (me, ATM) that the site they are visiting is spamvertised and/or a reported phishing site. Useful for those who do not have control over their mail server, especially if they're using webmail.

Also a proof-of-concept of the "right way" to implement a phishing blacklist -- without sacrificing user privacy.
