+# Reading time
+
+Extension from the [Run scripts on every page](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/get-started/tutorial/scripts-on-every-tab) 'Get Started' article on the extensions docs.
+
+This extension adds reading time information under an article in the documentation for extensions or webstore.
+
+This sample demonstrates the use of content scripts to modify the content of a page. The content script is associated with a particular url pattern listed in `manifest.json`. The script only acts on websites whose url matches the specified pattern. In this case, the pattern matches for docs articles of extensions or webstore.
+
+## Running this extension
+
+1. Clone this repository.
+2. Load this directory in Chrome as an [unpacked extension](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/development-basics/#load-unpacked).
+3. Visit an article on the docs for extensions or the webstore ([Extensions Docs](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/) or [Chrome Webstore Docs](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/)).
+4. Find the Reading time information right under the article title (ensure that the extension is turned on).
