Overview

Turns black and white vision on

When activated, the extension disables borders, outlines, background colors, text colors, box shadows and text shadows. Seeing a web page in such a rudimentary form helps you evaluate the information hierarchy of your design. Suddenly it becomes much easier to make sure you are adhering to a coherent visual grid. Without the visual clutter it allows you to see the typographic structure a lot easier. Source code (licensed under GPLv3): https://github.com/JannesMeyer/chrome-black-and-white/

This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. I tried many solutions, and in the end, installing this new version resolved the issue: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/white-and-black/kolnojcfgcbflebnmjkmflfjimdiackk

Needs to remove the background too, otherwise websites with a texture background and a white box with text, with the white box removed, become unreadable. Similar problem happen with black mode, text becomes black but background remain black. A dark mode would be awesome; make background black, and all text white. Also needs a feature to turn it on by default on chosen websites as other user suggested. I tried it on some newspapers, but since some graphs were colored, become unreadable.
