Just so you're aware, extension thumbnails are in a 2:1 aspect ratio, meaning they're twice as wide as they are tall. Your thumbnail is 23:18, meaning some of your thumbnail will be cut off when loaded onto the website. This would likely include the wordmark, so I'd personally suggest redoing it. |

You should probably be using the web-crypto method getRandomValues here, as it's closer to true random than Math.random is.
const value = new Uint8Array(1);
crypto.getRandomValues(value);
return Math.floor(min + (value[0]/255) * (max - min + 1));| ); | ||

The documentation specifies that the number will always be between 0 and 255, not 256, so this should be dividing by 255.

I'd specify a message to say that this abortion was because it got timed out.

As this is global state, it might be a good idea to add a serializer for this so it doesn't need to be set on project start each time.

Not a requirement, but it'd be nice if this were named something relevant rather than just "Extension."

Security through obscurity is not real security, it's like hiding spare keys under a rock in your yard. Sure, nobody will know it's there unless you tell them, or they scope it out, but if they know it's there, then it's pretty easy to break into your house.

not even that. its REALLY easy to find the api key. you can just look at the network tab in inspect element.

Buttons don't need opcodes, this can just use the func key.
