A Chrome extension that lets you "block" sites by graying them out. BW_BROWSER helps you take control of your internet addiction by making sites less appealing. Specify certain sites you want grayed out, or just gray out everything.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I was recently inspired by an article (https://humanetech.com/resources...) by Tristan Harris that recommends turning your phone black and white to make it less visually addicting. The advice has been helpful at reducing my phone usage, however I've been spending a lot more time on my laptop in my browser during quarantine. As a remedy to this, I built BW_BROWSER, a Chrome extension that lets you "block" sites by graying them out. It's like dark mode, but for getting things done! 🦾 Blocking sites wholesale is a bit like quitting an addiction cold turkey. Instead, graying out sites makes them less appealing to look at while still letting them be used, affecting your long-term user behavior as you are conditioned to be less interested in potentially time sucking websites. You can freely add and remove sites, as well as gray out all sites or disable the blocking temporarily. It's an unobtrusive and lightweight way to make your browsing experience more productive. Would love some feedback as this is my first PH launch! Also huge thanks to @alexshye for hunting + feedback! 🚀 Cheers, Ryan

Also side note - a quick update's coming in today on launch! Some tooltips are going in on the options page to make the tool a bit more understandable when it comes to adding/removing websites.

this is great!! I also love Tristian Harris :D No complaints about the extension, it worked perfectly for me, thanks!

thanks for the feedback! yeah tristan harris is awesome, love his mission and ethos

Love that you have the option to greyscale all websites or only certain ones! UI is clean and simple
