I think the thing to do might be to detect if the page was loaded with the annotation open, then fuzz background. Otherwise, you know what you're looking at and explicitly clicked the open annotation button.

It's great that the site supports such deep linking.

I'm interested in a productive dialog; I'm not trying to engage in an attack here.

Doesn't your suggestion harm the UX for the person who has spent the minute or two required to figure out how to operate the site?

Even from my very first visit earlier today, I found great value in being able to read the annotated code and the annotation simultaneously.

My original comment was worded poorly. Left side blur should be on initial load if the referring url is not from the same site, not every time you open an annotation.

I think they're talking about fuzzing the left pane background, not the code pane.

Yep, that's the proposal I'm making.
