Is Color Picker Tool & Eye Dropper safe?

Clean risk

Color Picker Tool & Eye Dropper captures the active tab screenshot for local color sampling when you use its picker.

When you trigger the custom picker command, the extension captures the visible tab as a screenshot and sends that image to its content script on the page. The content script draws the image to a canvas, samples the pixel under your cursor, and sends only the selected color back to the extension.
