[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 85179, post: 951620"] Phishing only works if you enter your credentials on a site which looks like the original. If you use bookmarks, that will never happen. Correct but remember Linux get more and more attacked, so only "because it's Linux" doesn't protect you. In fact, Linux is...well another topic. You grant extensions all the permissions they want at installation. Mostly that's access to all sites you open. Anyway, a local attacker wouldn't use such an attack [/QUOTE]
