Can't resist continuing this one. As we're talking about hiding porn
'webpages' we are apparently in a web browser. If you're trying to keep
your porn browsing private you probably want to be doing it in Private
Browsing Mode, which - in Firefox, anyway - has a keyboard shortcut:
shift-ctrl-P. It's even, very conveniently, a shortcut you can manage
with one hand, if you use the right-hand side ctrl and shift keys. That
makes it nice and easy to get rid of your porn session with no
minimizing required - just whack the keyboard shortcut to quit private
browsing mode and you're right back in your convincingly work-related
browser session.

I'M JUST SAYIN, IS ALL

(of course, if you're on a work network, you can rely on the fact that
your friendly office BOFH has your outgoing HTTP requests logged. Please
refer to said BOFH for the fee schedule for keeping said logs
private...)
