    Thanks! Originally I was going to implement a slider where you could adjust the amount of grayscale, but wasn't sure if anyone would use it. I really like the idea of having it gra…

    Yep, you got it. For the most part I'm just adding filter: grayscale(100%) to the html element. There some other stuff going on though. I noticed that for the html and body element…

    Thanks! I took a quick look and it doesn't seem like there's any plugins out there for grayscaling in Safari right now. If you're talking about mobile safari though, you can do it …
