No I don't hide nothing, I don't see any reason to do that until I make standards apps that don't require paranoid security levels.

Protecting pictures? For what? First because this is browser client stuff and it's so easy to get back that stuff from cache. Also, if the user can print it on screen, then there is no protection for my pictures because anybody can make a printscreen of them.

There are sure some apps that will require more protection, this case didn't happend to me yet. If I have to face this situation, I think I will protect with .htaccess
