YouTube Black & White Filter – Black and White Video & Image Filter with Schedule Mode

Take control over your YouTube viewing experience with the YouTube B/W Filter Chrome extension! This extension allows you to easily apply a black and white filter to all videos and images on YouTube. You can toggle the filter manually or set it to activate automatically within a specific time window using the Schedule Mode.

#Features:

- Manual Control: Toggle the black and white filter on or off at any time.
- Schedule Mode: Set a start and end time for when the filter should be applied automatically.
- Customizable Time Settings: Choose your preferred schedule with a user-friendly time input for flexible filter management.
- Real-Time Updates: The filter is applied to videos, images, and video previews as soon as they are loaded on the page.
- Seamless Experience: Works across YouTube videos, thumbnails, tooltips, and video previews to create a unified black and white experience.

#How It Works:

- Manual Mode: Simply enable or disable the filter by checking the box in the extension's popup.
- Schedule Mode: Set the time period for the filter to automatically activate, such as during your work hours, study sessions, or for focused viewing.

Whether you're looking to reduce distractions or simply prefer a grayscale theme for YouTube, this extension gives you total control.

Wonderful extension! The only thing is I'd like to have the after-video suggested videos to be black-and-white too, also, the youtube logo in the left-top corner could also be grayscale. Everything else is perfect! Also, some general version of this extension (grayscale any domain, not just YouTube, would be good!). Thank you!

Amazing! Thought I would need to code this myself. Thanks for sharing!

The toggle on youtube isnt styled correctly which makes it appear janky, but other than that it works great.

Does exactly what it says. Helps me to reduce distractions. This should have way more installs and reviews

I was hesitant to try this because it has no reviews so I will leave one. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, very good for making Youtube slightly less appealing so you spend less time watching videos. Great for productivity. Thank you for making this Joan! I was gonna make it myself because I didn't think someone would have already made it so you saved me the time.
