Just been testing it out. Seems to work great.

It can tell you about a site before you visit it with green, yellow, or red icons on google, yahoo, or MSN search:

Site report for Moneysupermarket
1.1 e-mails/week

After entering our e-mail address on this site we received 1.1 e-mails per week. They were somewhat spammy


It's new and still 'trial version' but it looks very good

    Ah there does seem to be a fault do just 'ebay.co.uk' (without https or www)

    I've been using the Firefox extension anyway rather than the search - it turns green on bbc or ebay and I just click it for more information on the site I'm visiting
