Features
The Ghostzilla window disappears when the mouse cursor is moved away from it, allowing the user to very easily hide it.
The user can set the preferences to set security (hiding) levels. For example: He can display no images unless hovered over by the mouse (they stand out, thus making it more easily recognized as the Web), or display plain grey text on a white background.
