Search Gets Protection

Looks like Yahoo is rolling out technology to protect it’s search users if they click on a dubious website that hosts anything like spyware or spam. Past experiences tells us that such “helpful” additions often confuse the searcher and somewhat tarnish overall usability. Let’s just see if Yahoo can do any better than Google who introduced something similar back in 2006.

Browser exploits are of course nothing new and high risk sites will always be present on the net. However, there is nothing more irritating than some over enthusiastic guidance system that you have to by-pass to get to the website you need.
