Netmonitor Chrome Extension: Real-Time Network IO Tracking

'Netmonitor' is a Chrome extension that highlights and tracks background network I/O activities taking place on web pages. Even after the initial loading, webpages continuously interact with the network via JavaScript, often without the user's knowledge. These activities include tracking user actions, transmitting data, or loading resources. Netmonitor presents a count of these ongoing requests in an easy-to-read indicator, updated in real time for each tab.

Doesn't do anything useful. Just shows an icon with a number on it. Clicking on it doesn't do anything.
