URLCopyExtension is a lightweight Safari Web Extension that allows users to quickly copy the current webpage URL with the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Shift + C.

• ✅ Overrides Safari’s default Cmd + Shift + C behavior (opens console when dev tools enabled).
• ✅ Copies the URL to the clipboard instantly.
• ✅ Shows a toast notification for confirmation.
• ✅ Injects only when needed (at command time), ensuring minimal impact on performance or security concerns.
• ✅ Leverages a shadow DOM to improve performance and avoid unintended overwrites.
