Sites that do someting that is not cool, like evil javacript/cookies/ etc. Those are then automaticly executed. So when u know who has the script you send 'evil site', and its executed on the receivers pc.
The script uses a site called SnapCasa which makes the screenshots. It's completely safe to use this, because if the site is bad, the worst thing that could happen is that the SnapCasa server is attacked. The thumbnail isn't made on your computer, it is simply downloaded from the SnapCasa servers. 
In that case, I will install it

PS: you might wanna explain this too in the description. It's very important info to know me thinks (and might give you some more downloads too)
Together with saying that the thumbs are cached, so it might be that it doesn't give a 'live' view of the site
------
What happens when a snapshot is queued? Does the script try again after a few seconds? I ask this because when I tried out their service (without your script) I often get a "queued snapshot" and I needed to refresh the page again.
^^ EDIT: Apparently not. So, it would be nice if the script would retry a few (user configuarable) seconds later when a "in queue" picture is shown because I get them all the time 
I also hope such a script isn't seen as abusing their system though
