Show HN: Monchromate v1.5.0 – Smart greyscale browser extension

Last month I posted here about my extension called Monochromate, a greyscale extension I built because I spend most of my time in the browser and couldn’t find the right solution for my needs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44726807). Thanks to that post I got a ton of feedback, new contributors on GitHub, and we’ve now crossed 450+ users with a 5-star rating on both chrome webstore/firefox addons.

I’m back with a new and improved version that fixes a bunch of small things and adds some much-requested features:

Works on Firefox Android Shortcut keys Temporary disable (turn it off for a while, it re-enables automatically) Exclude media-only pages (like when you open an image in a new tab)

As before, I’d love any kind of feedback it’s been super helpful to iterate on this product and I am looking forward to do it even more
