The Problem
Bright colors trigger dopamine. Social media is designed to addict. You open Twitter "for a second" and lose an hour.
The colorful interfaces are engineered to keep you scrolling. Every notification, every like, every colorful thumbnail is a dopamine hit.
The Solution
GrayMode removes color from sites you choose, making them boring enough to leave. No willpower needed — the sites just become less appealing.
It's the difference between a slot machine and a spreadsheet. Same content, different experience.

Troubleshooting
Grayscale not applying?

- Make sure the extension is enabled (check the toggle in popup)
- Verify the site is in your blacklist or enabled category
- Some sites with strict CSP may block the filter
