CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This handy add-on for the Firefox browser enthusiast adds an array of color-matching and color-picking tools to your Firefox status bar. ColorZilla's eyedropper icon leads to a menu of many options, including finding the code of a selected Web page color, creating a custom palette, and zooming in on a page. Or you can just click on the screen anywhere to find the Hex value of a color. One drawback: the program promises to measure distances between items on a Web page, but our testers had difficulty implementing that feature. Web designers and any user looking for an easy zoom or quick color picker will love this freeware add-on to Firefox.

Version: ColorZilla 1
Pros: I can not judge this application, as Firefox refuses to download it (and possibly will not allow it to install).
I only can say it would be a useful tool.
Cons: The developer had to creat ColorZilla as a stand-alone application and not as a plug-in for the glorious Firefox. Maybe he will do it after this failure...

Version: ColorZilla 1
Pros: There is nothing to review, so c'mon CNET, get rid of this type of timewasting garbage, as it ruins your credibility.......
Cons: The previous reviewer had a the same problem as me, only mine was in IE6.
