Pookage Hayes (ID: 0000000a48ce6196) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/20/2023 This is the best eyedropper extension out there - the others are way too overbuilt and try to create features that just make them weird to use; this one is a straightforward eyedropper tool that shows the colour you're hovering over, and copies to clipboard when clicked. Boom. Simples.
