This seems to be one of those cases where their discomfort is caused by actually having some way of noticing something which has always happened anyway. Their stuff may be still in the cache; and the user could have installed a logger anyway. >> Could we consider using blurring, or just using the favicon, instead of >> this seemingly highly complicated parallel request infrastructure? > > I'd guess that blurring enough to obscure a red "account balance" figure > or to render a photo from Facebook completely unrecognizable would look > fairly ugly. I can't recognise Facebook photos from the Thumbnails as it is... The bank balance is a slightly odd case because it's one where there is information available from colour alone. And it's only a single bit of info at that. I still think we should look at a blurring solution as a much smaller amount of engineering effort for almost the same win.
