Description

Description:

The toggleInputStorage() and appendStoredText() functions silently fail when the input fields are not present on the page, leading to no indication for the user. Add proper error handling and notifications.

Files Involved:

background.js

Expected Outcome:

Display a message in the console or through a popup when no input fields are found, making it easier for users to understand the extension’s limitations.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the `toggleInputStorage()` and `appendStoredText()` functions in `background.js`. Identify where they fail silently when input fields are absent. Add checks to verify element existence before operations, and use console warnings or a popup notification to inform the user.
