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).

Seems like this should be settable. If I want to be uber-cautious, not rated should default to NSFW. Also, maybe a white/black list of domains the user knows to be safe/unsafe for themselves?

That's really my point though: it's not being über-cautious to default to NSFW, because the point is to not get fired for accidentally clicking on a landmine.

If you can't give some sense of confidence that the tool will prevent that scenario, then it's usefulness is limited.

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