🧠 How It Works

• The background script listens to all network requests using Chrome's webRequest API.
• It stores the request info tab-wise in local storage.
• The content script injects a widget into the webpage that fetches and displays this data.
• When you switch tabs, the widget updates accordingly.

🧪 Known Limitations

• Chrome Manifest V3 does not allow request blocking — this extension is read-only.
• Some browser pages (e.g., chrome://, PDFs, extensions) won't inject the widget.
• The widget shows only for sites loaded after extension installation.
• ⚠️ Note: This extension is optimized for Google Chrome. It may not function correctly in other Chromium-based browsers like Edge, Brave, or Opera due to slight API differences or security restrictions.
