Browsing Made Safer

Mozilla has reached the latest development milestone for its
next-generation Firefox 2.0 "Bon Echo" browser with a little
anti-phishing help from Google.
Anti-phishing capability, which Mozilla has branded "Safe Browsing," is
one of the marquee features in Firefox 2.0 and one of the reasons a
third alpha is necessary. Now baked into Firefox 2.0 alpha 3, Google
Safe Browsing is triple-licensed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL)
1.1, the GPL 2.0, and the LGPL.
It is also built into the Google Toolbar, which is available for both
Firefox and IE.
Safe Browsing inspects a visited site against a regularly updated list
of known phishing sites. The list of phishing sites may be downloaded
automatically within the browser or can optionally be checked against
Google's online list of known miscreants.
IE Internet Explorer 7 will also have a form of anti-phishing capability.
