Overview

Discreetly surf the web! Control exactly how you want web pages to look like.

Decreased Productivity (DP) creates a more "consistent" browsing experience (for you and others around you) by letting you control what you want to see ("stealth browsing" => text/page background colours, the cloaking of images, hiding page favicons, changing fonts, etc.). You can choose what style you want (e.g. green text on a black background) by going to the Options page (right-click on icon in address bar and click on "Options"). DP has tab-specific support and domain whitelisting/blacklisting! Supports Arabic, German, English (US), English (British), Spanish, Tagalog, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional)! Please note that I am not responsible for what you do with this extension and any subsequent consequences; please browse responsibly.

(unhovered and hovered; live example provided in the Options page) -added keyboard shortcut (CTRL+F12) to toggle the cloaking of pages! (enabled by default; you can disable this in the Options page) -fixed possible memory leak (and intermittent browser crash (?)) (related to the page title cloaking function and an infinite loop) -minor updates to the Español locale (thanks Luciano) -updated coffee-buyer list :) v0.46.31-0.46.32 - Tuesday, August 9, 2011 -made blacklist/whitelists easier to read -added option to unbold text -added Monospace and Serif font options -(and updated coffee-buyer list :)) v0.46.29-v0.46.30 - Monday, August 1, 2011 -optimized code (refactored to leverage jQuery for content scripting) -added functions to make cloaking more reliable and miss less elements (div, links, spans, and page titles (Facebook would update its title periodically and "undo" the title cloaking... not anymore!)) -made "Enable Stickiness" disabled by default for fresh installs (Stickiness: new tabs from cloaked pages are cloaked) -updated coffee-buyer list :) v0.46.27-v0.46.28 - Thursday, July 28, 2011 -added "catch-all" code to ensure all link colors are changed (if DP is enabled) -added "White - Green" color preset -updated the German locale (thanks Christoph!) -updated locale files to be easier to translate -added my contact information on the Options page so you can get in touch with me more easily! v0.46.21-v0.46.26 - Wednesday, July 27, 2011 -added option to always show images that are within a specified dimension (width x height in pixels).

(aka borders)) -changed default font to Arial from Calibri (reasoning: Arial is older than Calibri and more likely to be on more systems).

(enabled by default) -added "Show Update Popup" option, where you can control whether or not you see the page that popups in the background with a list of what's new each time you are updated to a newer version of DP!

If disabled, images and multimedia will appear normally at full opacity v0.34 -made the default font an option in the Options page v0.33 -set default font to Calibri and slightly increased font-size for readability v0.32 -added new style: Light Red - Pale Blue (based on f.lux's site: http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/) v0.31 -minor aesthetic change to Option page v0.3 -added "Safely open in new tab" support for images -different styles added v0.2 - Saturday, October 16, 2010 -added toggle icon -options to enable/disable cloaking and toggle icon -added right-click context menu item for links to "Safely open in new tab" v0.1 - Friday, July 23, 2010 -first version
