Chrome/Firefox: The Decreased Productivity browser extension strips styling from web pages so they look boring, dull, and completely work appropriate.

Last year we shared Decreased Productivity for Firefox—now the style stripping and image subduing of the original extension are available for Chrome. Turn websites into a mundane and camouflaged sea of blue links and basic text.

Lifehacker reader andryou ported Decreased Productivity to Google Chrome so he could enjoy the stealthy browsing he had become accustomed to in Firefox. Decreased Productivity strips web pages down to the bare bones. Background and style-sheet colors are removed, flash is disabled, and images are subdued—barely visible until moused over. You can toggle the images and flash back on (but in doing so you negate the main reason you'd use the extension—stealth browsing).

Decreased Productivity for Chrome is free and works wherever Chrome does. You can still grab the Firefox version at the link above.
