## Description

Screen Rotation Control is a simple and easy-to-use Chrome extension that helps you manage your device's screen rotation seamlessly. It offers three convenient ways to control screen rotation: a rotation control widget, a notification control, and a floating rotation panel that stays accessible while you use any app.

This extension allows you to force rotate your screen even if some apps don't support it naturally. Customization options include changing the color, icon, size, position, and transparency of the rotation controls, making it adaptable to your preferences. Importantly, the extension respects your privacy, requiring no internet permissions and offering an intuitive interface to enhance your device usability.
