@lephantriduc this isn't my extension. It looks really similar, that error message is definitiely taken directly from my extension but there are links at the bottom which aren't present in the original, different background etc.

Did you install it from official Chrome store or locally from this repository?

I would be really careful, as it might contain some dangerous code.

[lephantriduc]

Whoops, you are correct, this isn't your extension. My bad. However for some reasons, your extension works fine on Windows but not on MacOS. I tried picking color on MacOS and it just showed a spinning blue ball.

@lephantriduc can you please confirm, that problem is present even after browser restart? What is the address (one example should be enough) where it doesn't work. And what version of chrome and macOS do you have?

I'll try to investigate, it should definitely work.

[lephantriduc]

After I have restarted my Chrome, the spinning blue ball still appears but just for a short while (I think the time it spins gets shorter and shorter the more I use the extension). So I think I can use the extension properly now! I use Sonoma 14.3 btw. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

[lephantriduc]

It only spins for like a fraction of a second now, so it does not bother me at all.

Thanks for reply! I'm glad it works, but it should still work even without restart. Definitely something I should look into later.

Followup discussion for similar case is in #255 which should be fixed in next version.
