## Description

The Lighthouse Report Generator Chrome extension allows users to effortlessly generate detailed Google Lighthouse reports for any publicly hosted website directly from their browser. It eliminates the need to use Chrome DevTools or the Lighthouse command-line interface, streamlining the audit process.

By leveraging Google's Lighthouse audit tool through the web.dev/measure service, this extension provides insightful metrics on website performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO. Please note that it currently does not support locally hosted sites or sites accessed through hosts.txt modifications. It's an ideal tool for developers, SEO specialists, and webmasters seeking quick audits without additional configurations.
