This is my final project of the CS50.
The extension helps quickly jump into all the major websites that are used to analyse a company.
For eg want to learn about a new company let say ITC
you will need the financial from a website (screener.com, trendlyne.com) and see the technical's from another website(tradingview.com) also you might find the wikipedia usefull also maybe throw in the NSE and BSE websites.
You get the point google and opening all this different sites will take time.
Now after getting this extension just type the Company name, hit search. Get all the needed sites in one click.
clone the repo, go the extension settings of your Chromium based browser turn on extensions-developer then press load unpacked extension and open the /extension
folder from the repo.
