Got caught looking at Lindsay Lohan photos? No-NSFW to the rescue
We've talked about web browsing at work before. We all do it, it's a fact of life.But what happens when you're browsing the interwebs and you click a link...and all of a sudden something pops up on your screen that would make your mother cringe? You quickly close the window, look around, and hope that nobody else saw it. Well at least that's what we do.
Not a good feeling is it?
No-NSFW comes to the rescue for the Firefox Browser. Just a warning, it doesn't work with Firefox 3 YET, but once it goes gold, this should be one that gets ported over.
Basically, No-NSFW warns you that a link could be or is Not Safe For Work (NSFW). If you find a page that is NSFW and the add-on doesn't pick it up, you can right click on the link and add it.
So it's kind of like the Rick Roll Database for NSFW websites.
That's an awesome use of community.
When you get home, it's safe to be unsafe, naturally. If you use the same computer at work and home, simply disable the add-on when in the comfort of your own bathro...er living room.
