User reviews

Users appreciate the Colorpick Eyedropper for its simplicity, reliability, and usefulness in web design, especially its quick hex color code picking. It's favored over alternatives for its persistent color pinning feature. However, multiple users express disappointment about the introduction of excessive ads in recent updates, which hinder usability, particularly when zoomed in. Restrictions on basic features like RGB value picking behind registration frustrate some users, leading some to seek alternatives. Despite these issues, many remain loyal due to its core functionality and ease of use.

Pros

Reliable and useful for website designers and developers.
Available for both Chrome and Firefox, maintaining user loyalty.
Efficient in finding hex color codes, aiding frequent usage.
Better than some alternatives, like ColorZilla, due to features like persistent color pinning.

Cons

Presence of excessive ads making the extension unusable when zoomed in.
Basic features like getting RGB values are restricted behind registration/paywall.
Recent updates introducing annoying ads disappointed long-term users.
Some concerns about the extension becoming corrupted or unstable.

I understand making something yourself and wanting money but to put this many ads in an extension seems egregious considering there are alternatives.

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.

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

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.
