From experience 99.9% of the time unless I visit a porn site purposely or some warez site by accident, or questionable reddit channels, I see no NSFW. However I do see some benefits if this was for kids.


Sound like you have ad-block or avoid sketchy (pirate) websites.


Adblock is a far simpler and probably more effective solution than this, with a host of other benefits such as speeding up websites, whereass presumably this extension will slow down the browsing experience quite a bit. Given that, the only reason I can see for using this is if adblock was not doing a good enough job alone.


A few years ago I was at work and was looking up something and the page I landed on had ads that featured a barely dressed lady in them. The funny thing is that I didn’t even notice the ad until one of my coworkers, who was passing by my desk stopped, chuckled and asked me if I was looking at ladies on the computer during working hours lol.

I guess I had developed a kind of builtin ad filter into my brain, from ignoring so many ads over the years.

Thankfully, my place of work had reasonable people working there. But I think if I worked somewhere more strict even that one ad might have prompted a conversation with HR. Nonetheless, I promptly installed an ad-blocker on the browser in case any ads would be shown in the future that would have been more explicit than the one that had been showing this time.


Preventing the last 0.1% could be meaningful though, depending on your environment.
