This extension replaces the new tab page with a weather dashboard. It uses the Open-Meteo public API (no key required) for weather and AQI data, and the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API for reverse geocoding. No user data is collected, stored remotely, or transmitted to any third party. All state (cached weather, planner events, Wordle leaderboard, theme preference) is stored locally in localStorage. The extension contains no inline scripts — all JS is in external files.
