Thumbshots Filter Offensive Sites

Offensive sites like adult web pages can appear in the results page even in seemingly harmless search query because of cloaking techniques employed by webmasters to improve their site popularity. Because pictures never lie, users can easily recognize an offensive site even when the text description fails to mention it. With thumbshots, users can preview any suspicious sites before entering thereby avoiding embarrassing adult ads from popping-up.

Example:

A popular search on "Britney Spears" returns adult site clearly visible with thumbshots, which may not appear in the text description.
