Still, this is a deal killer.
I understand this would raise red flags for a yc type crowd. Would the average surfer feel as strongly ?

#12Since 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.

#13This 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).

Why do you need to rewrite links to your server? Can your extension not insert JavaScript to do most of this logic client-side?
But the info about links being safe of not are contained in the server links. I could pre-emptively get info about all links, but that would slow down Firefox.

The average surfer probably would not feel as strongly. The average surfer is correspondingly unlikely to install plugins for Firefox.

#18Just tried whitehouse.com and it said it's safe for work. i couldn't figure out how to vote on the site (without using the plugin).
