doesnt work
by Samuel Sidor, 2025-04-09

Doesnt Work. . . .? Even if I am using it incorrectly, the UI shouldn't be this unintuitive. and if I'm using it correctly, it simply doesn't work All I have to do is click a button, but even that doesnt work. . .

Hi, cool extension but it lacks one feature: - User can create a list of sites that would always go greyscale upon the opening (or in opposite, the sites that should never go greyscale) Please add this, this would work wonders for me!
