Troubleshooting
Can’t pick on this page
Chrome blocks extensions on special pages such as chrome://, the Chrome Web Store, the New Tab page in some cases, and some PDF viewers. Open a normal website (http/https) and try again.
Pick from page does nothing on first click
Reload the extension once from chrome://extensions, refresh the webpage, then try again. Make sure the tab is a regular http/https page.
Pick from anywhere cancelled / closes
Press Esc cancels the eyedropper. Click Pick from anywhere again and click a pixel to confirm.
Colors not saving
History uses Chrome sync storage. Sign in to Chrome and enable sync if you want colors across devices. You can also check that the extension is not in Incognito without “Allow in Incognito”.
Shortcut not working
Another extension may use the same keys. Set a free shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
