User reviews
Grayscale Bro is praised for effectively applying grayscale mode and allowing selective site control, providing a mostly smooth user experience. However, users frequently report problems with fullscreen videos and standalone images, including black screens and partial image visibility. Some also note color conversion inaccuracies on certain pages, suggesting improvements in grayscale processing would benefit the add-on.
Pros
- Effectively converts web pages to grayscale as intended.
- Allows users to enable grayscale mode on selected websites only.
- User-friendly and works well across most websites.
- Good control features for managing grayscale application.
Cons
- Issues with fullscreen videos or images showing a black screen while audio continues.
- Problem with images displayed alone where only the bottom half is visible, top half scrolls off-screen.
- Color conversion inaccuracies leading to unexpected color changes instead of proper grayscale on some pages.

ページの下になにもない大きい空間が生まれる
「明度」ではなく「輝度」の数値をグレースケールに使ってください。
