## Description

<strong>Network Status Light</strong> is a minimalist, blazing-fast browser extension that instantly tells you if your internet connection is active. 

🟢 <strong>Green Icon:</strong> You are connected to the internet.
🔴 <strong>Red Icon:</strong> Your network is disconnected.

<strong>Why choose this extension?</strong>
- <strong>Zero Performance Impact:</strong> Built with a strict "no timers, no loops" philosophy. It uses 100% native browser events to detect changes. It does absolutely nothing in the background until your network state actually changes, saving your CPU and battery.
- <strong>Instant Feedback:</strong> The toolbar icon updates the exact millisecond your connection drops or recovers.
- <strong>Minimal &amp; Clean:</strong> No popups, no settings, no clutter. Just a simple, beautiful circle in your toolbar that does exactly one job perfectly.
- <strong>Privacy First:</strong> This extension collects absolutely zero data. It doesn't track your browsing, doesn't communicate with any servers, and requires no special permissions.

Perfect for developers, remote workers, or anyone who needs to quickly diagnose if a page isn't loading because of their local network.
