🕹️ Working

• To find out the total number of emissions done by data uploaded and data downloaded we first retrieved the number of packets through the chromeapi and stored them in the local chrome storage.

• We Parse the JSON Object to get the details of amount of bytes exchanged in specific domains.

• These resources are then passed through a formula to Find out number of emissions and then these are stored in a database through a classification method stored in arrays.

• Finally , we Bring out the light to our Extension page through Making a UI for showing Total Emissions and Emission details on the main screen.

• Along with this, Dashboard Screen for all Ranking Webistes based off emissions and a detailed information on the amount of resources utilised while browsing.
