Instead of you stopping on clicking ads, just install an ad blocker(preferrably uBlock Origin[1]). Not only it eliminated potential phishing from ad links, it also blocks most if not all mining scripts.

Instead of this, I prefer to use bookmarks. your settings can be saved through your google account so I think it's still the best way for not being fooled by those phishing websites.
Whenever I visit some common sites I usually click the "bookmark this page" so whenever I feel like visiting it again it leads me straight back to it. Unlike typing it and searching it again that can lead you to some mistakes.
