User reviews

Users find ColorFish useful for frontend development, especially appreciating its color history and simplicity. Some colorblind users benefit from its color names, but naming can be confusing. Common issues include the need for extra installations, laggy magnifying cursor performance, and poor window interface that distorts website display during color picking. Overall, it effectively picks colors but has usability and setup drawbacks noted by multiple reviewers.

Pros

Useful for frontend developers to pick colors accurately.
Includes a history feature to track selected colors, appreciated by users.
Simple and does what it is intended to do effectively.
Helpful for users with colorblindness by providing color names.
Fast and easy to use according to some users.

Cons

Requires additional software or components to work, complicating setup.
Magnifying cursor feature is laggy on high-end systems.
Color naming can be unclear or inconsistent, making some colors hard to identify.
Resizable, movable, or flexible window interface is lacking, leading to a distorted or fixed display affecting website view during use.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ColorFish 🐠 Color Picker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ColorFish 🐠 Color Picker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
