       Show HN: Monchromate - the best greyscale browser extension
        
       4 months back I started making an extension named monochromate
       which was basically a greyscale extension, I realised power of them
       when I turned it on my phone and the thing is being a programmer
       most of my time is spent on browsers ... and that's where it don't
       exist (at least not the perfect solution for my needs).  That's how
       I came up with it, made it open source, recently passed 100 users
       over chrome webstore and it have 5-star rating as of now.  and yes
       you might say that why would I need it when I can do this with
       filters that can be toggled via settings, thing is I didn't wanted
       to greyscale my work sites as well and thus I made site exclusion,
       also have scheduler, intensity control and above that all it
       supports all the browsers including Firefox providing same
       experience.  Would love any kind of feedback over this!!
