off-topic, but this reminded me of an idea i had for a firefox extension: when visiting a questionable url, be able to tell firefox to blur the page/image heavily before rendering it. as you slowly decrease the blur and realize that it's something obscene/gross, you can close the tab before seeing the gory details that your eyes cannot unsee.
- coryl 16y agoThat's actually pretty funny. But I think you'd get annoyed by blurred pages taking forever to unblur and then not having anything bad on them. I think most people are desensitized anyway, and just look off-image until they can close it.
- thristian 16y agoFirefox 4 at least has scaled-down preview images in the Ctrl-Tab switcher - if you open questionable images in a background tab and switch to it with Ctrl-Tab, you ought to be able to get at least a little advance warning.
- kmfrk 16y agoI assume most ad filters would already block such images, but other than that, it sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see it.
