  🔐 Easy Encrypt - Simple Text Encryption & Decryption Tool
  
  Easy Encrypt is a fast and secure text encryption extension for Chrome.
  Encrypt and decrypt your sensitive text with AES, DES, Base64, or SHA-256 in one click, right in your browser.
  
  🌟 Key Features and Benefits:
  
  🔒 Multiple Encryption Algorithms
  - 🛡️ AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): Industry-standard strong encryption.
  - 🔑 DES (Data Encryption Standard): Legacy encryption for compatibility.
  - 📦 Base64: Simple encoding for safe text transfer.
  - #️⃣ SHA-256: One-way cryptographic hash for data verification.
  
  🖱️ Right-Click Integration
  - 📄 Select any text on a webpage and right-click.
  - ⚡ Choose "Send to Easy Encrypt" to automatically load it into the extension.
  - 🚀 No copy-pasting required—streamlined workflow for quick encryption.
  
  ⚡ Auto Copy & Clear
  - 📋 Auto Copy: Automatically copy encrypted/decrypted results to your clipboard.
  - 🧹 Auto-Clear (5 min): Privacy-focused feature that clears sensitive data after 5 minutes of inactivity.
  - 🔄 Reset timer on any user activity to keep your session alive while working.
  
  🎛️ User-friendly Interface
  - 🔛 Simple toggle controls for Auto Copy and Auto-Clear features.
  - 💾 All settings (algorithm, secret key, preferences) are automatically saved.
  - 🌐 Internationalization: Full support for English and Korean (한국어).
  
  👤 Personalization
  - 🔑 Save your preferred secret key for quick access.
  - 🎯 Remember your favorite encryption algorithm.
  - 💾 Settings persist across sessions via Chrome local storage.
  
  🛠️ Technical Features:
  - 🛡️ Manifest V3 Compliant: Built with the latest Chrome Extension standards.
  - ⚡ Lightweight and Fast: No external dependencies except for CryptoJS library.
  - 🚫 No Remote Code: All encryption happens locally in your browser for maximum privacy.
  - 🔐 Context Menu API: Seamless integration with browser right-click menu.
  - ⏰ Chrome Alarms API: Smart auto-clear timer management.
  
  ❓ FAQ:
  Q: Where is my data sent?
  A: Nowhere. All encryption/decryption happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
  
  Q: What happens to my secret key?
  A: Your secret key is stored locally in Chrome storage only. It's never transmitted anywhere.
  
  Q: Can I use this for file encryption?
  A: Currently, Easy Encrypt only supports text encryption. File encryption may be added in future updates.
  
  Q: What's the difference between encryption and hashing?
  A: Encryption (AES/DES/Base64) is reversible—you can decrypt it with the right key. Hashing (SHA-256) is one-way and cannot be reversed.
  
  Q: How secure is AES encryption?
  A: AES is the industry standard used by governments and banks. Your data's security depends on using a strong, unique secret key.
  
  🚀 Planned Future Updates:
  - 📁 Batch encryption for multiple texts.
  - 🎨 Custom themes and dark mode.
  - 🔐 Additional encryption algorithms (RSA, Blowfish).
  - 📤 Export/Import encrypted files.
