Or as TBL put it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7299875.stm
IE7, Firefox and Opera all come with phishing protection built-in. Safari doesn't, but ironically that's the only major browser Phorm don't support. So there's definitely no added value for the majority of users.

For me, Phorms phishing protection is a value-subtracting proposition since I actively disable browser features I don't like; google safebrowsing, search suggestions, HTML5 ping, prefetching, HTTP referer.
