Text Saver Extension

❗3.3 Update Summary ❗
• Converted from localStorage to chrome.storage to ensure user text content persists during updates.
• Added a character counter.

🙏 Apologies if text from some users wasn't retained in previous updates; I hope this update permanently resolves that issue. 🙏

If I am wrong with chrome.storage, please contact me directly!

--------------------------------------------

As the title suggests, this extension is incredibly useful for anyone who needs to copy and paste text from the internet and save it as a .txt file on their computer.

What’s great about this feature?
• It can save any text you want, even if you close the browser or restart your system.
• A hassle-free, Notepad-like extension.
• Makes it easier to work on your essays.

That’s all for now. I will add more features in the future. Thank you!
