ColorMax is an extension for Opera browser that assists web developers and graphic designers with color related tasks.
With ColorMax you can get a color reading from any point in the active page of you browser. You can then quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program using different formats.
When installing ColorMax for Opera, you might be prompted by Opera that ColorMax requires access to:
- Your clipboard data
- Data on all websites
- Your tabs and browsing activity
Why these permissions?
-
activeTab: This permission lets ColorMax interact with the currently active tab, enabling it to sample colors from any webpage you visit. -
scripting: To extract color information directly from webpages, ColorMax needs to inject small scripts. This permission allows it to run those scripts safely. -
tabs: This permission provides the ability to query information about your open tabs, which is essential for ensuring that ColorMax functions correctly across different sites. -
clipboardWrite: ColorMax copies the picked color to your clipboard for quick and easy pasting into other applications. This permission is required to perform that operation. -
storage: Your personal preferences and settings (such as the last picked color or format preferences) are saved locally using this permission, providing you with a consistent and personalized experience.
ColorMax requires these permissions solely to perform its basic functionality of picking colors from any page and copying them to your clipboard.
Rest assured: ColorMax DOES NOT collect any of your personal data or browsing history. YOUR PRIVACY IS SAFE. ColorMax is an open source Opera extension; you can inspect the full source code on GitHub at https://github.com/sabinayo/color-max to verify that no user data is collected.
