Yes, it's unfortunate that crooks are pretty creative and will always find a way. I've seen some pretty innovative phishing scams.

However, the Chrome browser uses a Safe Browsing list which blocks many known malware/phishing sites.

The list is constantly being updated, both by automated and manual means.

You can also submit bad sites here:

If you find one that isn't blocked, I'd definitely encourage you to do your bit and submit it.

Firefox also uses the same Safe Browsing service:
