So conveniently in Chrome there is the "Chrome API" which lets you interact with Chrome quite nicely. The problem is that for this API to work with React in an extension you need to do some setup. It makes sense that, if we want to make a chrome extension, that I build the extension popup functionality first. I just tried the other way around and I think I'm causing myself more work than I need to.
So I'm going to start with a new fresh local repo and I'm going to build the Chrome Extension functionality which will then let me easily call the Chrome API within an extension such that I could populate.
