Sure, I guess if you solve the "how do I trust the extension?" problem, I
imagine you can go this route. It was historically much more onerous to
get people to install add-ons, and of course the dominant browser 10 years
back used native code as extensions. Now that's all webified, and it's
much easier, but also less secure intrinsically. I was going to make a
crack about how Chrome meets most of my defintions of malware...

Ultimately if you can get people to use an add-on, you're presupposing
some influence over their behavior that could be used to help with
phishing to start with.
