You should consider that only a very small amount of phishing domains and URLs ever make it to phishtank,openphish and similar services.

I welcome what the author is doing but you need to do a bit more for phishing protection, like blocking newly registered and/or uncategorized domains.

I wonder if there are browser extensions for this sort of stuff?

Yes there are browser extensions that offer phishing/malware protection

You could block all domains that are not part of the Majestic Millions[1] (the million most common domains)
