Mouser,
I just read that article.  I've used all those tools except Firekeeper, but none of them are anti-phishing tools , although you might get warned if the site owner does not reveal his name.  The reason I asked for the tool for secure bookmarks is because none of the anti-phishing tools is completely accurate, and even though users could set up their  own secure bookmarks, they don't and having a tool to lean on might get a few less phished. 

howiem:
actually a plugin that resolved the ips of web pages, and compared them against known trusted official ips of these sites would solve the problem wouldnt it? does this exist already?
