Using blur.js breaks the Chrome inspector

[chrisblakley]

When I use blur.js on a page and use the Chrome inspector, the inspector locks up and if left long enough, it will crash. Appears to only happen in Chrome, but I can successfully reproduce it on several machines.

same issue here. Especially if I open up the element that the blur is applied to in the element panel.

This is because blur.js uses data url to set the blurred background image and the chrome inspector seems bad at handling big data in attributes.
The only solution to this, that I can see, is to create a image on server side and set that as background.
