Avoiding NSFW

Posted by Dunn on July 24, 2008 – 11:43 pm -

I believe there was some circumstances where you had to be aware or at least more careful for what you gonna click. Maybe you were in the office with the boss or colleagues around you, or at home when your kids were stayed close to you. But the chances are, sooner or later you are going to click on something you probably shouldn’t. In most cases, you don’t know what you are getting into until it’s too late.

To solve this, there is a Firefox Extension you need to install. No-NSFW is a Not-Safe-For-Work content warning system. It will warn you about NSFW links before you click them. When you hover on an external link, the plugin gets the rating (NSFW, SFW or Unrated) for that link. This is displayed on the bottom right of the screen.

NSFW rating is determined by user votes. To report a site for NSFW content, click on the No-NSFW icon no-nsfw on the Firefox status bar and select “Mark NSFW”. If a site has been incorrectly marked as NSFW, you can mark it as SFW using the “Mark SFW” option.

The extension works with Firefox 3. This small and simple plugin will surely safe you from the uncomfortable situation. And you can easily disable it whenever you want.
