2 weeks ago Hi Kepi,
The functionality works well, although my intitial thought was that it hadn't worked.
-
This time when selecting 'web page' the mouse icon changed and you could see a small box indicating the colour the mouse is hovering over (perfect, smiley face)
-
(This is where the process confused me) I had clicked on the colour, the icon disappeared, my first idea was to ctrl + v to paste the hex code or rgb number as it may have copied it from the colour. I only did this as I'm used to that functionality in blender or adobe, unsure if other users would also assume this.
-
I tried the same process again, not realising it had saved the colour in the 'selected' box once I selected colour picker again. (This is likely my fault for not reading how to use the extension, but potentially food for thought regardless).
-
3rd time round I realised where the colour stores and shows the codes for the colours and where to copy them for usage.
-
As the extension box disappears after you select 'from webpage' (which is understandable so to be able to select anything on the webpage) you don't see the code saved until you click back into the extension, which can be confusing using the extension for the first time.
The only potential critique for functionality would be to have that set as ticked as standard when someone installs the extension. But again, that might just be my preference rather than anything else.
The only other area I would mention, with a design background, only cosmetic, regarding the extension drop down frame,slightly rounded edges to the drop down box would be less harsh, and the font for the 'hex', 'code', 'rgb', 'hsl', 'hsv', 'New', 'Selected', 'Pick from', 'Hover over colors to preview a color in New square' and the 'linear-gradient' text could be prettier. But again, the cosmetics for such a good tool aren't that important.

I'm almost ready to publish rewrite of Eye Dropper with many fixes and UI improvements.
But as this is huge change, I would like to test it more and get some feedback. If you have time, please help me test it:
Beta version is now published at chrome store so it is enough to just add it as normal extension.
I'll gladly accept any feedback, bug reports etc. You can spam this issue or create new ones for specific troubles if not reported already.
