Web app to view a list of urls as snapshots

As I receive thousands of URLs to be added to our firewall blacklist every day, I find it impossible to verify which deserve blacklisting. As a result, I receive hundreds of complaints that good sites were blocked. So in order for me to test any URL I have to open it in a browser that is in front of the firewall. For hundreds of thousands of urls this is really impossible.

Therefore, I thought of a web application that can be developed which will take a list of e.g. 1000 URLs at a time and opens them all as something like a photo gallery with each screen as 175 x 130, filling the displaying monitor. Each opened screen can be ticked to be selected for deletion. On deletion of selected screens, the originating URLs are also deleted from the providing list.

The outcome of this process is a shorter and "genuine" blacklist that will eliminate users complaints. This solution was just the outcome of my thinking (and suffering!).

Is it possible?

If not, I welcome any other solution that will facilitate viewing thousands of miniature sites that can be selectively selected for deletion if they should not be blacklisted.

The iframe element can be used to load external pages into an existing page. However, this will be tricky in a Tizen application because Tizen has a strong security policy that will firewall 3rd party sites without explicitly white listing them in the application's config.xml. This prevent may of the common attacks on the web such as clickjacking or cross-origin exploits. I'd make a simple webpage in PHP (or choose your favorite language) that takes a list of URLs and creates an iframe for each. That way you can browse them many at a time, and not one by one.
