Wanted to add a newer review since it seems it wasn't working properly in the past. Right now it's working great on the latest Chrome/Chromium. Super useful to quickly check contrast on a page where normal contast analyzers may not be sufficient.

Page region: on a wide monitor only the top of the page is selectable. I cannot drag the rectanlge to the botton of the page.
