Now here’s an interesting idea. It’s a browser plug-in (for IE or FireFox) that adds a Good/Bad rating to search results, along with a slew of details about the site that the link leads to. It reminds me of Microsoft’s anti-phishing feature, but with an expanded context.
It’s called SiteAdvisor. Their site has a simple flash demonstration on the home page that shows you what it does.
It seems it works with Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search. I’m not sure about any others.
Unfortunately, there’s no version for Maxthon =/
