非常に良いです。 高速。 色彩設計されていない目に痛いサイトを見ることができます。 でも、一部レイアウトが崩れるサイトがあります。 例: https://kotobank.jp/word/晴れ-1578634

Works perfectly, even with video players. Also compatible with Dark Reader, which is a huge bonus. I normally put a greyscale filter on my phone to stop me from getting too distracted, and the same would work on my PC, but I often need colour for pdf reading. Greyscale Browsing is the easiest solution to this by just dimming out my browser and nothing else :)
