Is Color Picker safe?
Color Picker captures the active tab image when you use its picker and sends recurring run events to Google Analytics.
When you open the popup or press Alt+P, Color Picker injects its picker into the active page and captures the visible tab image so it can sample pixel colors. Its background worker also sends recurring Google Analytics run events with a persistent locally stored extension UUID.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Color Picker contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
