Skin Tone Image Filter Extension

Use this extension to have skin tones in images greyed out, to minimize exposure to nudity and unwanted content during casual browsing.

This extension is a fork of existing extensions in the store and is under active development (July 2023). Goals are to migrate to manifest v3 (complete), update the detection algorithm (complete), fix rendering bugs (in progress), and improve performance (awaiting contributions).

Code submissions are welcome:
