How to not get caught by your boss while browsing TESO forums

Hi there,
While i really like the graphics of this website, it is just impossible for me at work to browse a forum with a huge picture of an elf and a rogue on the top corners. If my boss sees me, he will say something.
So i've been searching the web for a solution, and here it is, in case someone else has the same kind of problem at work :)

it is an add-on for firefox, called "no color". you will find it easily by googling "firefox addon no color".
What it does : it adds a little icon on the bottom right of your browser. When clicked, the background images and background color are set to white. text colors are set to black, and link colors are set to blue.

Basically, all the webpages you are browsing become completely neutral. No more worries about your boss lurking in your back while commenting a post of some player who asks for payback in the support section^^

Hope this helps :)

    Got no problems here, but that is a good information to those that are in need of going "sneaky" in forums. Thanks for the information @rvr1982‌

    My solution's better: get the boss to start playing. B)

    Are you still old school or yet unprogressive?

    I'm currently at a work (graphic design), and when my boss saw header he just told me "oh, nice graphics, this is the game you were talking about?" :smiley:

    I have my screen oriented so that anyone entering the room I'm in doesn't see what I'm looking at. I can easily use keyboard shortcuts to navigate away from the web page before they get into a position where they can see my screen. I also have a second screen that they can see before my other. I have the more productive-looking stuff displaying on the second screen. But my supervisor and coworkers probably don't care much. They all do the same thing since we're short on work at the moment.

    I have big spreadsheets with a small browser window so I can switch really quick. Or if I need to I'll have google news open so if I do get caught it looks like I was trying to stay current with some business news or something.
