Yes indeed! Glad you like it.
Cool, it works. Now I can browse NG in school without having the constant fear of the librarian watching what I'm doing through their remote monitoring system thingie.

I have a gut feeling that something like that may still trigger an alarm bell, though, if they cared to investigate :P Glad you like it.
Almost instinctually called out "but Newgrounds already has this" unless this works on videos even before you visit pages like http://www.newgrounds.com/movies or http://www.newgrounds.com/games with the rating icons on the top right. If the thumbnail gets blocked by default with the extension, imagine this would be a nice convenience plug-in for people who don't like M or A rated thumbnails
Yes, this is designed to work on every page of the website where thumbnails are shown. The portal browse pages (like http://www.newgrounds.com/games/browse) do have filters, but they are unreliable at best. They tend to reset themselves between visits. If on one visit I block M-rated content so just E and T stuff show, it might still work other times in that visit, but when I come back the next day, M-rated content will be shown again. Also, unlike the portal filters, this stuff leaves content on the page, but just the thumbnail is blocked. So, you could still view names and artists for content. So maybe you find something M rated by some artist you like (but don't follow for some reason) or something that just sounds interesting and decide to check it out despite having the thumbnails blocked. With the existing portal filters, you'd just miss it completely.
I use FF but still consider this as usefull and convenient :) Very important for NG, if it should lead to a more respectable plattform for creators in this digital-art-times
@TomFulp This is pretty cool.
He's seen it already :) Thanks for the endorsement, though!
Did he like it?
Yep. He said they're considering 'things like that'.

I think this is an awesome idea for an extension. Offering an ability to block smut but still keep that content available to those enjoy it; everybody wins.
Hopefully NG officially incorporates this in the future. Can't tell you how embarrassing it feels to potentially have the risk of seeing some furry porn in public on a laptop while trying to enjoy all the actually cool animation/games on the rest of the site.

Yeah, NG having a true sitewide filter would be great. I don't even care one bit that it would invalidate all the work I did :P The ones in the portal aren't even that great... they tend to reset themselves an awful lot.
