Decreased Productivity Extension

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 and British), Spanish, Tagalog, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian and Portugal), Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)!

Please note that I am not responsible for what you do with this extension and any subsequent consequences; please browse responsibly.
