  主要功能：
  - 擷取網頁文章正文
  - 將文章保存到本機 WebKnowledgeBase 資料夾
  - 產生 HTML、Markdown、metadata.json、index.html 與 articles.csv
  - 內建 Library，可搜尋、分類篩選、編輯分類與標籤

  AI 功能說明：
  AI 建議是選用功能，適合進階使用者。即使不啟用 AI，也可以正常保存文章、手動分類、加入標籤、搜尋與閱讀。
  
  若啟用 AI 建議，需要使用者自行設定第三方 AI Provider 的 API Key，例如 DeepSeek、Gemini、OpenAI 或 Custom OpenAI-compatible API。Chrome Built-in AI 為實驗性功能，可能因瀏覽器版本、語言支援或模型下載狀態而不可用。
  
  隱私與資料保存：
  WebKB 主要將資料保存在使用者本機。文章檔案會保存到瀏覽器下載資料夾下的 WebKnowledgeBase 目錄，Library 清單、AI 設定與閱讀偏好會保存在 chrome.storage.local。
  
  API Key 僅保存在本機 chrome.storage.local，不會寫入 article.html、article.md、metadata.json、index.html 或 articles.csv。
  
  使用 AI 建議時，WebKB 只會在使用者主動點擊「AI 建議」後，將文章標題、摘要與部分正文傳送給使用者所選擇的 AI Provider。開發者不提供 AI proxy，不接收、不代理、不保存文章內容或 API Key。
