Grayscale the Web - Save Sites
Description from store

***PLEASE NOTE*****************
When you first install Grayscale the Web, you will need to refresh any tabs that were already open before this will work for them. Once you refresh a tab it should work from then on out. Any new tabs you open should work fine right away.
********************************

Can't stop surfing the web? You may not realize it, but all of that color is designed to hijack your brain and keep you browsing.

Grayscale the Web is a great solution to help with this. It removes all of the color, giving sites a plain, grayed out look. They will appear much more boring, and that's the whole point. You'll soon find that time wasting sites hold your attention less, and this will hopefully help you focus on whatever it is you really need to be doing.

Grayscale the Web lets you turn on grayscale for all sites, specific tabs, or whatever sites you choose. You can also exclude specific sites from turning gray when using the all sites or specific tab settings.

Click the Grayscale the Web icon in your chrome menu bar to use the pop up menu to change settings, or click the 'Manage Saved/Excluded Sites' link there to go to the options page to manually manage and add or remove sites.

NOTE: This plugin won't work on certain, chrome specific pages like the chrome web store.

Hello, great extension, I have found a bug, I added the complete domain for reddit and discord. but every time i enter again to one of this pages the grayscale is off. then I click in remove saved site + add site and the grayscales comes back until next time i open the page. pleeease solve this issue.

Nice work! I found a bug, pls fix it. In options page, when I add a domain that contains .com but doesn't end with .com, it won't let me do it. For example: 10jqka.com.cn it's a valid domain, but I can't add it to Saved Sites or Excluded Sites.

This makes the DrudgeReport news site so much better! Thank You! Thank You!

Can you update this for the new Manifest v3? I can't find any other grayscale addon that allows for a whitelist (which seems like basic functionality...).

Exactly what I was looking for

Simple and useful extension. One thing that would be great to have - is to applying some styles on <a> tags to highlight links. Otherwise it's very difficult to recognize them on the page

Thank you so much Dev Astora. I ran the default Grayscale filter on my phone for over a year and seen a great many benefits. I tried to run the default Grayscale filter on my computer, but realized I still need "color" for certain websites and programs for work, but I definitely needed "to Grayscale" social media websites to disincentivize degenerate scrolling or time wasting. You're the best!

works pretty well. the one issue I have with it is there is no way to bulk add sites to excluded/saved sites which makes this process more annoying than it needs it be, especially if You happen to uninstall the browser or deciede to use a different one and lose the extension's settings and have to do it all again.
Danny Nguyen
It works perfectly. Thank you very much for creating this extension!

Extremely easy to understand and use, useful for a very specific project I'm working on.

Works great and retains readability (unlike other ones I tried), so perfect !

- The settings are not obvious to understand and are too much programmer oriented and not user friendly (you have to hover on the various question marks and tooltips to understand the logic of the software in order to tune the settings accordingly) and also do not always seem to take effect immediately. - The extension makes my screen blink completely when switching tabs or when editing in some tabs. I can't explain why but I have tons of extensions and only with this one active it still blinks. I could reproduce that with a blank Chromium based browser with just this extension enabled and the activation on all websites. - Overall the extension provided me a nice experience of the web, but I'll have to find a different mechanism to grayscale my whole computer instead of relying on this extension I believe. - I'm trying another extension "Monochrome mode Grayscale browsing" which seem to not cause trouble for now.

Does what it should do. I also reviewed the code for version 1.0.6_0 and could not find any tracker or other data extraction.

Bro i was getting distracted due to YouTube so much but this just destroys the colors which makes your brain stimulated works like magic
Ed Fons
amei!! era exatamente o que procurava para me distrair menos na internet!!! Basicamente, pus todos os sites da interner em escala de cinza e coloquei apenas como excessões os sites importantes para trabalho e estudo (maps, agenda, excel, whatsapp etc).

It doesn't work on Reddit anymore. I think they made some changes to how the site is structured when they removed awards.

Отличное расширение. Благодаря нему экран не кажется таким превлекательным. Хочется меньше "залипать". Когда захожу в приложения/браузер в цвете - схожу с ума :)

Astonishingly useful for cutting on distractions. Thank you so much!

Useful for learning artists who want to analyze the values of web pictures on-the-go, etc. Also useful for web design, to check the use of values. Apparently useful to become less addicted to websites, I didn't know!
