I saw a more detailed thread about using addons to avoid phishing attacks
Must have web browser addons to keep you a step safer from phishing
Unfortunately, Cryptonite is now a paid service... which makes it suck IMO
And here is why you shouldn't over-rely on bookmarking

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.

Nope, this is not a good idea. The bookmarks can be altered and hackers know people trust their bookmarks. This false sense of security is exactly what these hackers/criminals want. In some browsers you simply click on the favorite bookmark and edit the URL section
A hacker simply search for the keywords in the registry and replace that with the phishing site URL.
