While lovely, it's worse functionality than what you had.

People don't use strikethroughs to hide spoilers on here. They use it for editorial expression. The whole point of strikethroughs is they're legible. With the gray blocks at least you can highlight to read; with what you have here, you have to copy/paste to read anything.

Really? It's legible for me when I highlight.

Yeah, that's why I went with the blur. The same functionality as blocked text, but looks better.

We need to add strike-thru, however. Actually, we will be doing markdown proper in a bit.

Not on my Mac (Safari 9 nor Chrome 49 nor Vivaldi. El Capitan). Does work on Chrome Mobile.

edit: Personally, I prefer the blackout. It reminds me of confidential records, and I think it is more inviting to highlight the text than something you with just too much blur to read.

Curses. Ok.
