No-NSFW is a Firefox extension which warns you if the link that you clicked on is NSFW. NSFW ratings are determined by user-votes cast via the extension.

The extension could be rough around the edges - would appreciate any feedback / bug reports.

Since you are rewriting all external links on web pages to go through your website, I am exposing my browsing habits to you, right?

Yes, but you could disable it when you don't mind seeing NSFW content.

This is the crucial thing:

  Unrated links default to Safe-For-Work.

The extension becomes useless if the ratings don't keep up with content (in other words, if some dude posts a nudie picture of his girlfriend, it's got to be rated before I get to it or your extension doesn't help me).

I could change that, but won't it would get too annoying (for a fresh data-set) ?

Still, this is a deal killer.

..Which in turn means this should be a feature of a plugin like 8aweek, or maybe 8aweek could be a feature of this plugin :)

I understand this would raise red flags for a yc type crowd.

Would the average surfer feel as strongly ?
