In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the activeTab, scripting, storage, and contextMenus permissions. These allow it to read and modify the current webpage only when you activate the eyedropper tool, save your preferences, and add a right‑click menu option. This permission set is typical and expected for a color picker, as it needs to inspect page elements to extract colors.
As with any extension that can read page content, a careful user should avoid using the color picker on sensitive pages like banking or email, even though access is limited to the active tab and only on your direct action. General‑purpose browser extensions can sometimes be cloned or repackaged by malicious actors, so it is wise to verify you have the official version from the Chrome Web Store and keep an eye on reviews.
ExtensionTrust’s assessment gives this extension a high overall safety score. Its strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively maintained and its ownership is clear. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which suggests the developer’s background or website transparency could be stronger, but this is balanced by strong community reputation and declared privacy practices.
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.
