Can I challenge an assumption here? I'm not sure I know of a website
which puts up sensitive data large enough that it would show up on a
thumbnail. And even if it did, it's my browser on my machine.

Do we have actual examples of where a thumbnail becomes dangerous?

Could we consider using blurring, or just using the favicon, instead of
this seemingly highly complicated parallel request infrastructure?
