Bug Description

The GUFW firewall is a great tool and 100% free alternative to some of the pricey firewall apps out there today, but I feel like it's simplicity overcomes no obstacles to actually make web *browsing* safer for the general public besides decreasing the potential risk of being hacked whether web browsing or not.
Why not implement a "safe browsing" proxy that many of the other antivirus and firewall apps for other operating systems currently have in order to further enhance security, easily, even moreso?
