Interesting tool. It brings the collaborative power of the intarweb thing into
action. I wasn't aware of it until you pointed it out, thanks.

I don't need it, since I understand the vulnerabilities that phishing  
exploits.
So I wouldn't click on email links in the first place. Anyway, most banks will
never send clickable links (though I've seen ghastly exceptions - obviously
some total idiot doing "security" audits at those banks).

Plus the more toolbars you have, the more flakey/vulnerable the browser is.

Though, that said, I guess other people could benefit from the toolbar.
