It does seem like a good idea but I believe that it tries to do too much. The keyword replacement is actually a pain. I will probably be removing it when I get a chance to fiddle with my routers settings again. I am also using and am not really impressed.

People are so ill-observant that they have to be told constantly not to give their details away willy-nilly? It's not too hard to spot a phishing email; I guess most just never question what they're told. I never got the fascination with anti-phishing stuff.

I'm going to keep trying it for a bit longer and see if I want to stick with it or not. I’m inclined to agree with you, Andrew Min.

Firefox now has some great built-in phishing, and the speed boost seemed too small (if even there). And I HATE that it messes up my existing keyword searches. Also, the OpenDNS search engine is completely inferior to Google, so when I type in a search query in the address bar, it gives me results that often have nothing to do with what I'm looking for.
