When I'm reporting offensive images on Google, is it possible to hide images that I've already flagged? I want the images that I've flagged as offensive to disappear from my search results (instead of showing up again and again.)

To clarify, I keep seeing the images that I've flagged even when I reload the page after flagging the images. – Anderson Green Oct 7 '12 at 0:29
I am also using the "safesearch moderate" search setting. – Anderson Green Oct 7 '12 at 0:38
Those flagged images probably haven't been reviewed so that's why they will still show up. Don't think you can have them not appear until they are removed, if they are – Eight Days of Malaise Oct 7 '12 at 1:34
Yes, that's why a web browser extension would be useful for this purpose. (Also, where can I make feature requests for improvements to Google Image Search?) – Anderson Green Oct 7 '12 at 15:39

No. You cannot have an instant flag remove the image. You can however set safeSearch to strict giving you a slimmer change of browsing offensive images.

Safesearch strict mode brings up a lot of false positives, so I'd prefer to stay with SafeSearch moderate. Also, I think this type of feature (per-user image filtering) should be requested to Google - where can I make feature requests for Google Search improvements? – Anderson Green Oct 7 '12 at 15:38
Are there any browser extensions that can remove specific images from search results (or prevent the loading of specific images?) – Anderson Green Nov 25 '12 at 16:46
