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!

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

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
