Boring Mode - Dopamine Blocker

About

🎯 STOP SCROLLING. START FOCUSING.

The internet is designed to hijack your attention. Bright colors, flashy thumbnails, endless feeds—they're all engineered to keep you hooked. Boring Mode fights back by turning addictive websites grayscale, removing the visual dopamine triggers that keep you scrolling.

✨ HOW IT WORKS

Click the extension icon, flip the switch, and watch distracting websites turn gray instantly. No color = no hook = no endless scrolling.

• YouTube becomes a research tool, not a rabbit hole
• Twitter/X becomes information, not entertainment  
• Instagram becomes boring (as it should be)
• Reddit becomes readable, not addictive
• TikTok becomes... actually unusable (that's the point)

💡 WHY GRAYSCALE WORKS

Research shows that color is a primary trigger for dopamine release when browsing. Red notification badges, colorful thumbnails, vibrant UI—they all exploit your brain's reward system.

By removing color, you remove the hook. Websites become tools instead of traps.
