About Boring Mode - Dopamine Blocker
π― STOP SCROLLING. START FOCUSING.
The internet is designed to hijack your attention. Bright colors, flashy thumbnails, endless feedsβthey'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.

π‘ WHY GRAYSCALE WORKS
Research shows that color is a primary trigger for dopamine release when browsing. Red notification badges, colorful thumbnails, vibrant UIβthey all exploit your brain's reward system.
By removing color, you remove the hook. Websites become tools instead of traps.
