MarketWatch Economic Calendar Extension

✅ Auto-Fetch Market Watch Economic Calendar – The extension automatically retrieves and updates the calendar from MarketWatch at a set interval.
✅ Alarm & Notifications – Users can set reminders for specific events. The extension converts MarketWatch's ET time to the user's local time, ensuring alarms go off at the correct time.
✅ Built-In Sound Notification – Plays an alarm sound (Alarm.mp3) when an event alert triggers.
✅ Dark Green MarketWatch-Themed UI – Uses a clean, modern, and rounded UI inspired by MarketWatch’s branding.

I do not work for MarketWatch and am not affiliated. But created this for ease in getting Market Events quickly and create alerts.
