Boring YouTube автор Morgan Koh

Boring YouTube is a lightweight browser extension that turns all YouTube thumbnails greyscale, inspired by Arc browser's beloved Boring YouTube Boost by Simon Beel.

Think about it: those bright, eye-catching thumbnails are designed to grab your attention and keep you scrolling. By removing the visual noise, you can focus on the content that actually matters to you — not what the algorithm thinks will get the most clicks.

It's that simple. Greyscale thumbnails = less distraction = more intentional viewing.
