Is Color Picker by AdCreative.ai Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests only the storage permission, which allows it to save a small amount of data locally—such as color history or user preferences. That’s a minimal and expected scope for a color picker; it does not need access to your visited websites or other browser activity to work. The permission model here is very restrained and appropriate for the category.

In general, color picker and eyedropper tools can be lightweight, but users should still be mindful: some similar extensions ask for access to all websites in order to sample colors, which could potentially expose your browsing data if handled poorly. This one avoids that by using only local storage. As with any popular utility, there is a risk of clones or imitations, so it’s wise to install from the official store listing and verify the publisher. The developer declares that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, which is a positive signal.

The strongest dimension in the safety assessment is Data & Privacy, scoring 100%, reflecting the minimal permission set and clear privacy statements. The weakest is Maintenance & Ownership, at just 10%, which indicates sparse public information about the publisher’s track record, infrequent updates, or possible long-term neglect. While the extension currently works and carries an overall grade of A, a low maintenance score means it may not receive timely security patches or adapt to future browser changes. If reliability matters, a user might watch for update history over time.
