Extension summary

This is a Chrome extension which automatically removes the background of an image you want to paste into PowerPoint for example. If the background has slightly differing colors, you can adjust the accuracy. The extension opens a new tab with the modified image. Originally, I wanted to make it copy it directly to clipboard, but the API for that is not really finished yet.

This is my first extension and I know it is not perfect yet, so come at me with any approvement requests :)
