  ✨ KEY FEATURES
  
  🔗 Copy Link as Markdown
  Hover over any hyperlink, right-click, and select "Copy Link as Markdown." MdPicker automatically extracts the link's display text and URL, then saves it to your clipboard as [Link Text](https://example.com) — perfectly formatted Markdown, every time.
  
  📝 Copy Selection as Markdown
  Select any text on a webpage — paragraphs, headings, bold text, bullet lists, and more — then right-click and choose "Copy Selection as Markdown." MdPicker intelligently analyzes the underlying HTML structure and converts it into accurate Markdown syntax (e.g., # Heading, **bold**, - list item), preserving the visual formatting of the original content.
  
  🛡️ Secure & Modern Architecture (Manifest V3)
  Built fully in compliance with Chrome's latest Manifest V3 standard. Operates via a lightweight Service Worker with no persistent background processes, and uses the Offscreen Document API for secure, reliable clipboard access — no legacy hacks required.

  - Developers writing documentation in Markdown
  - Technical writers and bloggers
  - Note-takers using Obsidian, Notion, Joplin, or Bear
  - Anyone who frequently pastes web content into GitHub, GitLab, or README files

  MdPicker requests only the minimum permissions necessary:

  - clipboardWrite: To copy the Markdown text to your clipboard.
  - offscreen: To safely access the clipboard from the background service worker (a Manifest V3 requirement).
  
  No data is stored, sent to servers, or tracked. MdPicker works entirely locally inside your browser.
