## Description

Displays lyrics automatically when listening. Extension tracks the song being played (via music service or from tab) → gets lyrics from API or website → displays lyrics in a small overlay or in the sidebar. Simple version: only with YouTube Music or Spotify Web, supports one or two services. Why it is not clear: there are song recognition addons like AudD Music Recognition but the “displaying lyrics” in the browser alone can still be developed.
