- Help needed! I am trying to create an extension where the extension UI (the HTML) loads beside the resized page rather than a popup. Is this possible?

For your next side project, make a browser extension
If you don't want to actually write the code and deal with the browser webstores, you can also use an "extension builder" tool like https://www.pixiebrix.com/ to call APIs, move data around, and build simple UIs.

any tools to help navigate site you are embedding / read information from?
We have some logic here for parsing tables to JSON: https://github.com/pixiebrix/pixiebrix-extension/blob/main/src/utils/parseDomTable.ts (code is AGPL). Given a table, it can detect the table orientation and parse most table structures.

For your next side project, make a browser extension
Browser extensions are useful. I've made some simple ones and published a few:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/14310707/
But it's also worth considering where the browser gives priority. For example, while browser extensions can add custom keyboard shortcuts, they can't override the keybindings a website uses. Want to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-1 for a browser extension while a Google Docs page is focused? Nope, sorry, can't be done.

It's pretty clear that while a browser extension can access browser APIs that a web app can't, the extension is still a second-class citizen in other respects.
