great tool!

Exactly the extension I was looking for! I like to leave Gmail and Google Voice open on my second monitor at work but don't like those walking by to snoop! This has just the right amount of blur to still see a new message came in but not enough for those around me to read it when blurred. My only complaint is when I toggle the blur on Google Voice, the page font changes/shrinks. Not sure if that's the extension's fault or Google's. I'm not sure why I can't change any options either? A keyboard shortcut to toggle on/off would be great too. Otherwise great extension!
