Comment (by elypter):
if the argument of shoulder surfing is brought into consideration then the
whole topic should be viewed from amuch broader perspective.
-for example tab titles could easily rais suspicion even you dont view
anything suspicious atm.
-audio playback and system sounds should be disabled.
-big images and text should be click or hover to view
-animations and gnerally moving things uncounciously trigger people to
look
-there should be a button, mouse gesture and a shortcut to make the
browser completely invisible (closing could tak too long on a busy machine
and all your session would be gone on false alarm).
-the torbutton and noscript icons should be hidden
there once was a browser called ghost fox for the purpose of shoulder
browsing. it made everything greyscale and was able to place itself inside
for example word. it wasnt carried out perfectly but i liked the idea.
even though it could raise more suspicion than a normal browser if someone
finds it there are cases in which this might be the better way.
