Unlike other eyedropper extensions that can see your pixel data, we utilize the browser's built in Eyedropper API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EyeDropper_API), which protects against user pixel data from being maliciously used. Rest assured, we care about your privacy, and don't find you all that interesting! Note about browser support: We've done our utmost to restrict the extension to supported browsers, which is primarily going to be recent versions of Chrome, Edge, and Brave. If you've managed to install the extension on an unsupported browser, it should be expected that the extension will not work as intended. Kindly rule out this possibility before submitting bug reports or reviews. Want to open Colorway with a keyboard shortcut? Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and set your own. By installing the extension, you agree to Colorway’s Privacy Policy (https://colorway.app/privacy) and Terms of Use (https://colorway.app/terms).
