## Overview

MiniTab is a Chrome extension that opens a small, reusable search popup. The user opens it from the browser action, enters or prefills a query, and submits it to navigate to Google results. The background worker handles popup placement and session tracking; the search script handles query submission. The README is empty, and the HTML and manifest contents were not sampled, so their finer wiring is not shown.

Main entry points: [`background.js`](https://github.com/shubhanshukaintura/minitab-extension/blob/main/background.js) (Background worker), [`search.js`](https://github.com/shubhanshukaintura/minitab-extension/blob/main/search.js) (Search behavior), [`search.html`](https://github.com/shubhanshukaintura/minitab-extension/blob/main/search.html) (Search page)
