This is a sample Chrome extension project built with Manifest Version 3.
It demonstrates how to create the barebones of a Chrome extension and how to add custom functionality — in this example, generating QR codes for the current tab.

Features demonstrated

  1. Creating the basic structure of a Chrome extension
  2. Adding functionality to generate QR codes for the current tab:
    • Display in the extension's popup window, or
    • Display directly in the current tab

This project uses the neocotic/qrious library to generate the QR codes, but you can replace it with any custom feature you want to add.
