Hello Sajolida,

I'll share an timeline and quote with you.

Just want to make sure we are on the same page. The main functionality
would be:

- User will download the image from website.
- After the download is complete, user will navigate to the verification
page of extension (say by clicking on extension icon).
- User will select the downloaded file and extension will let user know if
the image is valid or not.
