🔥 Features at a Glance

🎨 Text Colorization

✅ Set both text and background colors
✅ Apply rules only to specific CSS selectors

⚙ Custom Rules & Flexibility

✅ Define multiple rules with:
	•	Rule Name
	•	Regex Pattern (to match targeted text)
	•	Background & Text Colors
	•	Targeted URLs (specific sites or regex-based domains)
	•	CSS Selectors (to apply changes only to specific page elements)
✅ Enable/Disable rules anytime without deleting them

🖥 User-Friendly Interface

✅ Automatic cleanup when switching tabs or disabling rules

🔧 How It Works

1️⃣ Click the ColorMate icon in your Chrome toolbar
2️⃣ Add a new rule:
	•	Choose a rule name
	•	Enter a regex pattern
	•	Set text & background colors
	•	Define targeted URLs and CSS selectors
3️⃣ Click Save, and the text matching your rule will be instantly colored!

✨ Your rules apply only to the active tab, so no unnecessary modifications elsewhere!

📂 Advanced Rule Management

🔹 Rule Precedence: When multiple rules match the same text, the first rule in the list takes priority.
🔹 URL Matching Options:
	•	Exact URL: https://example.com/page
	•	Wildcard: *.example.com/* (matches all subdomains)
	•	Regex-based URLs: /example\.(com|org)/
	•	Universal Match: * (applies everywhere)

📌 Example Use Cases
