BibTeX entry from URL Extension

A simple chrome extension that creates a BibTeX entry for the URL in the current tab.
Supports @misc and @online entries.

Tab's title and URL are automatically copied to be used in your LaTeX documents.

\"Accessed on\" field (resp. \"urldate\" for @online entries) is optional

Author, year and month info need to be filled-in manually, and can optionally be omitted.

Add
\\usepackage{hyperref}

in your LaTeX document for the extension to work properly.

Example of use:

For http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging.html we get:

@misc{Packa3:Online,
author = {},
title = {Packaging - Google Chrome},
howpublished = {\\url{https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging}},
month = {},
year = {},
note = {(Accessed on 06/07/2014)}
}

Mounika Durga (ID: 0000002ef3d08ac6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/07/2022 Loved it ! Job done in a second

Hazhir “Hazhir027” (ID: 00000014daec7d58) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/04/2022 Absolutely useful. It works correctly. Thank you so much.

Imad Eddine Ibrahim BEKKOUCH (ID: 000000ae4e163f1c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/18/2021 Amazing work, thanks a lot, I really needed it. It would be nice to provide a feature that brings both sides to the same text. so that I dont have to scroll from the other side again.

Scott H. Hawley (ID: 00000016ba5f4fea) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/27/2020 Does not grab author or date published, sets class to misc regardless. Just sets title and url. Meh.

Olivier Hokke (ID: 000000e4393f0c38) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/25/2020 Wanted to like it, but still need to do lots of information filling myself, like the Author(s) and publishing date. Nowadays most news and blog sites should have correct tags ready for this plugin to read, but it doesn't seem to do that. Take this URL: https://www.pcgamer.com/why-are-game-install-sizes-getting-so-big/ The `type="application/ld+json"` script contains ALL information, but is not used?
