Joseph Brewster (ID: 0000006adf39ac8a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2020 I am using this on a MacBook Pro on Chrome and I love it. I was using Colorzilla, but I had a hard time recovering previously sampled colors, and the picker was super laggy. This works much faster and creating swatch groups is easy. I recommend!
