Is Color Picker for Chrome™ safe?
Color Picker for Chrome captures the visible tab and inserts the screenshot into the active page as a readable canvas.
When the user clicks the extension, it captures the current tab as a PNG screenshot and sends it to its content script. The content script draws that screenshot into a canvas added to the page DOM, where scripts running on the active site can read the image pixels while the picker is open.
