You can. Client side SSL is a thing, and it totally prevents phishing - pretty much any browser has supported it for ten years.

It is also a UX nightmare. The browser you are reading this with almost certainly support it, but try to see if you can find the menu option to install one.

I've actually played around with that. Yes, the browser side UX is a nightmare. It was real fun (for extremely small values of "fun") installing the client certificate on Firefox and Safari (on the Mac, on the iPad and on the iPhone). I was rather surprised by the number of different browsers (and number of computers) it needed to be installed on.
