John Doe (ID: 0000003c9a6e0c72) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 Good, but I would've loved RGB values too, and a comparison between each of the RGB values

Pablo Alvar mcv (ID: 0000009afd0ed95e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/11/2023 muy útil y muy buen diseño. Enhorabuena y gracias!

Brad Chapman (ID: 0000009ca94f4f5b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 Didn't work.

Christian Kodehode (ID: 000000df3a83cb9e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2022 Edit: Initially this extension refused to activate after I installed it. However, once I went into my browser's extensions settings and opened the details for this extension where I manually enabled access to file URLs (this was disabled by default) and then restarted my browser, it started working. The same solution applies to similar extensions I tested, and this works on both Chrome and Vivaldi.

Aesha Patel (ID: 0000002d44aa3113) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/24/2022 I figured it out, open the link, and then hold the click on the extension for 2 s. and it will pop down.
