About F-Secure Safe Search
F-Secure Safe Search provides clear website safety ratings while you are searching online, helping you keep both your personal details and your PC protected.
When F-Secure Safe Search is on, it checks for known harmful sites that may be listed in your search results. Each link is clearly marked with a safety rating, letting you know which sites are safe to visit and which to avoid even before you click a link.
To protect your privacy, personally identifiable details (including a history of your search terms) are not kept.

It's better presented than AVG (Google), Avira (Ask), McAfee (Yahoo).

Update: F-Secure Search - Search results are rated by their safety.
F-Secure Search is now live and available for anyone to use for free. You can access via https://search.f-secure.com

You can also add F-Secure Search as your default search provider (http://community.f-secure.com/t5/Security-for-PC/How-to-set-F-Secure-Search-as-my/ta-p/39409)

Clear green markings for Safe sites.

Harmful site are flagged, but you can visit them. If F-Secure where to develop an extension for Chrome and Firefox, then I believe it would be possible for them to notify users with a warning or block-page.

Image search needs to be improved, unless they intentionally want to allow users to be redirected to images.google.com + search results.
