## Description

Resource Usage Tracker helps users monitor the resource consumption of their active browser tabs, specifically memory usage. It provides a quick view of how much memory is being used by the current tab and allows users to keep track of their browser’s performance. Although browsers don't typically expose CPU usage data directly, the extension simulates basic CPU awareness to give a general overview.

How to Use:
Click on the extension icon to open the popup.
Press the "Track Usage" button.
The memory usage of the current tab will be displayed in a popup.
