Note: When copying links and images, Chrome doesn’t let you extract images alt text or anchors text content to be used in Markdown, instead the links themselves are used as link title. Firefox doesn’t have this limitation though.

1. `contextMenus`: to show option when right-clicking.
2. `activeTab`: to be able to access content on page.
