An "Add the Day of the Week" Extension

The other day on I heard a story about people who know very little about coding making apps using ChatGPT.
So, I used it to try to make a Chrome extension that would add the day of the week to any date I receive by email since I LOATH dates without days given!! I think it might also do this to any other date on a browser too, but I am not sure of that yet.
There was a bit of trial and error -- including it creating code that basically crashed my Gmail for a while BUT it later apologized for that! -- but here's what was sent from another account to my Gmail, and then what showed up in Gmail!

How to install:

  1. Download and unzip the folder anywhere you like.

  2. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions

  3. Enable Developer mode (top right)

  4. Click Load unpacked

  5. Select the unzipped folder

That’s it — the extension will then run on Gmail and add the day of the week to dates.

If you try this, let me know! And if you update it to make it better, let me know!
