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.
