User Reviews

It seems I'm yet to find the best grayscale solution for Firefox. Cons with this extension: it flashes color version for a moment on page refresh; pinned toolbar button requires extra clicks to toggle the extension. Nice that hotkey switch option is available, but not as comfortable as one click toolbar toggle would have been.
