I feel you. I tried to make it easy to toggle on and off in case you needed to check something in color, but it's a bit of a double edged sword in that it can be too easy to turn it off and leave it off.

That's a big part of why I added the saved/excluded sites functionality, so you could add it for sites that are usually time wasters like reddit or facebook, or exclude sites from being gray that you need for work.

This is a good point. On the phone it was all or nothing. Here I can choose. So maybe I will give it another try!

Newer Android phones allow you to set an accessibility menu shortcut. If you only have one menu item selected, the shortcut just toggles that menu item. I press vol-up & power to toggle greyscale.

I'm not sure what kind of phone you have, but on an iPhone you can set your phone to toggle B&W and normal color by triple clicking the home button.

I have an iPhone and didn't realize this. Thanks!
