Reviews & Comments of Color by Fardos - Color Picker chrome extension

actual scum

Redirects to affiliated links on google search results

Redirecting Al URLs to Affiliated Links.

DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION. It redirects your google search results to it's own affiliate links. Especially to monetoad.com. Horrible app and how can chrome web store even allow such app to exist here?

Used to work great, but I can confirm like the rest that this is now hijacking Google search results and replacing them with affiliate links.

This used to be the absolute best, no they're clearly compromised. Just trying to access a Facebook page from a Google search redirects to this for example: The page you were on is trying to send you to https://monetoad.com/redir/clickGate.php?u=u68EH62H&p=9z7K3hGCLg&m=30&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbayitcomputers%2F.

Like everyone else already said, it hijacks your Google Search result with affiliate links.

don't use this extension, as the shameless developer hijacks your google search results!

DO NOT USE. They will hijack your google search results for no reason. All your google searches will start go through api.smartredirect.de ad service.

DO NOT USE. They HIJACK your Google search with the spammy api.smartredirect.de ad service. Not sure if it generates affiliate revenue to them or not but I don't prefer getting hijacked or using a plugin that is malicious intent.

Used to be a good extension but now contains adware. I use Ultimate Color Picker now.

DO NOT INSTALL

BEWARE! This extension hijacks your Google search results and redirects through mtusrede.de to earn money via affiliate redirects. HIGHLY UNETHICAL.

It was working perfect but now they are injecting malware. I can see affiliate offers when I click certain links and when I disabled this plugin it worked normal. So definitely this plugin has now some sort of malware and its still under "Featured Extensions" by Google.

The extension was working great until it started redirecting the links on Google SERP through a malware site. There is a following example down below: https://mtusrede.de/redir/clickGate.php?u=0KMhnq5u&m=12&p=JK99MCU3FT&t=33&splash=0&q=sideways%20indicator%20tradingview&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tradingview.com%2Fscripts%2Fsideways%2F

This was a good utility until it started maliciously intercepting opening search results in google and redirecting them through an adware redirect site.

nice extension, but it doesn't work... it's supposed to be a color picker but the color picker is "not allowed" on any site. don't know why

I have to disable all the add-ons and enable one by one to find out which one adds affiliate link in Google search results. And it turns out this add-on adds shareasale link in the Google search results!!!

cool interface, really high quality, but eye dropper cant be used on ANY site, the reason i got it was for the eye dropper, srry, but please fix it <33

I have had this plugin for a couple years - it IS incredible. HOWEVER. I don't understand why I see the customer support responding to these comments about the adware issue redirecting users to certain links. It just started happening in the last week. Before that, nothing. I extensively tested every plugin I have. Only when Color by Fardos was turned on did the ad directs start happening. Developers, just look into it and fix it. This plugin is a life saver and truly used to be the plugin I used tens of times a day, if not a hundred times a day as a web and graphic designer, I want to re-enable it. Please drop the ego and pride and look into this issue and fix it instead of spending your time denying the issue several people have attested to. I even emailed support several days ago about the issue and was never replied to. JUST FIX IT.

!! WARNING: MALICIOUS, CONTAINS ADWARE. DO NOT INSTALL !! This is a tool that I have used extensively for a few years and has been incredibly useful and reliable in the past. That is, until a few days ago when I began noticing malicous redirects within Chrome. Links redirected to mtusrede.de which is a malicious advertising site. Other websites broke entirely. After investigating by using Chrome's developer tools and by systemtically disabling each Chrome extension in turn, I identified this as the one that was the source of the adware. Looking at other recent reviews, it seems that I am not the only one with this issue. The developer is denying any knowledge of this which may imply that the tools they have used to build this extension have been infected, and that in turn has infected this extension. Either way, I would STRONGLY ADVISE NOT INSTALLING THIS EXTENSION until the adware problem has been solved. Message for the developer: please stop denying this issue and investigate immediately.

There is a reference to a url : https://mtusconf.de/universal_search/v2/config/config.json in services/b2/background.bundle.js. This url contains the redirect patterns for hijacking some sites to use developers referral code. I refuse to believe that the developer didn't know about this. The is a breach of trust.

This extension replaces some url on Google search result with malicious redirects.

Incredible product! Just what I needed! I have tried to find a great eye dropper and I literally cannot find one.. Most of the other products are just scams but this one finally works! I also love how you can set the default to the eyedropper from the options page. Great work!!! Looking forward to more cool updates!

this extension was great but in the last update they asked for unusual permissions "read and write all websites data"

OH MY! Thank you! It's amazing!

My favorite Chrome extension periodt!

This works pretty well! My one big wish is that when you click on the extension icon the default mode would be the color eyedropper instead of color search!! If there was a way to set that as the default this would be perfect.

Beautiful UX; Great for web developers

The best

I went through nearly 50 different color picker apps/extensions and every time they failed what they were advertising this one appeared to be a failure too at first but once I went into the settings and allowed it to have Incognito and Image URL access it worked just fine! About time too! So don't bother messing with the other Eyedropper/Color Picker Tools this one ACTUALLY WORKS!

This is the definition of user-friendly UI <3 loved it !

This extension is soo beautifully made, and satisfying to use! But I miss the ability to shift between color modes.

Extremely Useful ?

super useful tool as a scatterbrained artist for finding colors!

i love the way it suggest complementary colours , very useful

I love this so much, best colour picker I've used so far.

Wish I could set a default to use the color picker when I click on the extension like I can with other color picker extensions. Let me know when you add this feature and I will return. Great stuff so far!

Anybody can tell that why it will lose pick color opion from right click menus?

Perfact interactive design, 非常棒

I've installed color extension but once on fardos.co, after sign in, it does not show my color palletes. So far not useful except of picking color from website. I hoped to be able to manage my palettes from the webite...

Lovely extension I'm looking for this type of extension from long time now I find out and amazing UI/UX

I use this alllllllllllllllll the time, truly useful extension.

amazing

The Eye Dropper tool works exactly as I had hoped! Thanks!!

Good tool! It's useful and works well on my browser. It allows to pick colors from the screen inside the browser, and has other interesting features.

this is the best colour picker ever. I use it almost daily (I am not a designer) and just love the ease of use, the interface, everything!

Says copied but does not copy the color

Would give this a five star but I cannot login using the extension after verifying my Fardos account.

perfect

Best color picker on here, love the zoom in. Only cons is that it doesn't work on Brave Browser. I also don't know why it needs access to read & change data of any site...

Great app. Can I change the shortcut key? It conflicts with the center align shortcut of google docs.

Perfect just perfect!!! well done!!!!

Very good and practical.

I can't login in the extension, nor the website. It always says that my password should have more than 5 characters, even though it has! I already changed the password, but the bug persists.

This is a fantastic extension / color tool!!!!

Very simple to use, yet very handy!

Awesome tool! I've always had to use a third party site and take screen shots to find color codes and this worked incredibly well without having to leave the page!

Saves a ton of time finding the same colors.

I like it. However the latest update to Chrome (as of today) seems to have broken it. Doesn't work at all for me. Uninstalled and it tried sending me to a dead page (maybe for feedback). Re-installed and it still won't work. I'm assuming the update broke something. Otherwise works great!

Great tool, few improvements: - Make eyedropper, color picker etc. buttons bigger, maybe tabs - Try to mitigate lag with the eyedropper, not sure what causes it but Im running a beast of a PC and still getting lag on the eye dropper. Otherwise love it :)

This is awesome...I've been looking for something like this for a long time!

Incredible extension! Super easy to use, color picker is the most accurate I have seen and definitely worth the download

very nice one! It looks great and is loaded with features. The only thing I would love to see is that I can assign my own hotkeys, because ctrl-shift-E is used by Gravit Designer's Advanced Export and whenever I want to export an image, I get an eye dropper now :)

Nice and usefull

easy to use, and has what I need for color picking and some styling stuff

This extension is exactly what i've been needing. Thank God I dont have to go through the hoops I used to to find out what a color was that I was seeing. Thanks for a well designed software!

Works great! My only complaint is the name made it hard to find when I was away from my pc. Please consider renaming this to something with 'color picker' or similar in the name.

Not only is this the best eye dropper I've used thus far, this extension has so many other cool features!

Good job guys!

No option to pick color from web, bad user experience.

Probably the best color picker extension I've used on any browser. Multiple uses and a very nice design/layout.

Amazing, beautiful, the best.

very very good. it is be better if is live on developer panel tools

Great job on this tool! Since I've downloaded this, I've used it almost everyday at my business for branding, setting page color schemes and just for the shear fun of testing to see if you got the colors correct. xD Keep up the great work!

Beautiful extension. Well thought out and designed. This is the color...everything... app/extension I was looking for. Will save so much time. Thank you Fardos for this excellent extension!

Awesome way to get your all color gradients as you required . Great work done Fardos Inc. the best part of it is the different tints of color and shades its provides matching your color shades .

Great Job! Use this all the time for my designs. It's super fast, saves all my favorite colors and I can get all the gradients I want.
