> You can take TWO screenshots, moments apart, open in GIMP, paste one over the other and choose any one of these laying modes:

You actually don't need any image editing skill. Here is a browser-only solution:

1. Take two screenshots.

2. Open these screenshots in two separate tabs on your browser.

3. Switch between tabs very, very quickly (use CTRL-Tab)

This was used in some early-20th-century astronomical setting, I think to detect supernovae. I can't find any documentation now, but my memory is that it was called "blink testing" or something similar, where one switched rapidly between two images of a star field so that changes due to a supernova would stand out.

I went cross-eyed on my screenshot, and I couldnt read the word, but I did notice some artifacts

What does that accomplish? You can just read the web page as-is...

Are you going to share your two screenshots, and provide those instructions, with others? That seems impractical.

Video recording is a bit less impractical, but there you really need a short looping animation to avoid ballooning the file size. An actual readable screenshot has its advantages...

Or use Blink Comparison from F-Droid.

Thank you forever for this, I ever used Ctrl-Page up/down for that.

You could also just record a video.

Hah, indeed, that was my first thought. This is clearly for fun though, it’s a cool project idea
