User Reviews

Users praise the add‑on for being simple, reliable, and very effective at picking hex colors (handy for designers and daily use). The chief complaints are intrusive monetization — notably many ads after recent updates — and related paywall/registration friction, which some say makes the extension unusable or drives them to alternatives.

Pros

Simple to install and easy to use (quick setup and straightforward UI)
Efficient at picking color values — especially hex codes — useful for web designers and frequent users
Reliable/liked by long‑time users (several users report steady, familiar performance)

Cons

Intrusive monetization: many users report excessive ads (some say the update added ads that hinder use)
Monetization push/limitations (ads or registration/paywall) annoy users and drive some to alternatives

Recent reviews

This add-on doesn't visibly do anything. There's nothing added to the right click context menu, menu bar, or anything else on the browser that would indicate this add-on can be used somehow.

Decent but you'll repeatedly copy "rgbnull" to your clipboard when trying to copy the hex code due to the poor design choice to include "rgbnull" text adjacent to the hex code you wanted to copy.

The ads make it unusable when zoomed into a page. Disappointed in the update, removing immediately.

Is Colorpick Eyedropper Safe?

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.

Colorpick Eyedropper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
