My only request would be to have a version that not just blurs the parts but completely removes the DOM elements where they are mentioned.
This is a great suggestion and is pretty similar to what some of the other commenters also requested. I am thinking to support multiple modes:
maybe even integration with uBlock if possible?
I wrote a plugin similar to this a long time ago because uBlock couldn't do it, at least not efficiently. I mentioned it in another comment already so I won't repeat everything.
The thing I made turned out to work better for getting rid of links you never want to see (facebook, twitter, quora, etc). You can apply whatever CSS you want to matches, so you can blur using a transform, redact (color: black; background-color: black), hide (visibility: hidden), remove (display: none), etc.
I even showed it to gorhill but I don't think he looked to hard at it and suggested I try something in uBO I already knew didn't work effectively.
