In-depth safety analysis
With `activeTab` and `storage`, this extension can read your current page’s content only after you click its icon to sample colors, and it stores color palettes locally. The host access to `https://*/*` is broad but limited by `activeTab`—it matches what an eyedropper tool needs and is normal for this category. Color pickers rarely pose significant threats, but users should know that any extension with page-reading capability could potentially see sensitive data displayed on that tab.
The extension shows a strong Maintenance & Ownership score (100%) with a recent update (August 2026), suggesting it’s actively cared for. However, its Publisher & Identity score is only 60%—the developer’s website is just a domain with no verifiable company details. While it has 100,000 users and declares it doesn’t sell data, the moderate community rating (3.4/5) advises caution. It’s wise to use this tool only when needed and avoid exposing personal information on pages while it’s active.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
What the store listing shows
Who's Behind Color Picker - Eyedropper Tool?
- Publisher http://colorpickerpro.com/
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
