Obviously, for sites that support U2F (like Google), getting a YubiKey or any other U2F-compatible key would be the best protection against this.
I think OP agrees with you.
Actually - I disagree with this. You can no longer "glance" at the url bar to determine if you are on the right domain due to Unicode chars if you clicked a link.
The only safe way is to type the url yourself into the browser.
If it is a long link - then at least typing the base domain, and pasting the "rest" is probably safe?
Maybe IE is affected though. I haven't tested every browser. But it's a known security concern.

Why have you got such an old version of Chrome?
To answer your question, (1) it's pretty arduous to install Chrome from the AUR, and (2) I am wary of Google removing useful functionality from Chrome.
