Improve README with popup screenshot and usage GIF #2

Description

@alex-w-developer

Problem

The README explains what GetBlocked! does, but it does not currently show the extension visually.

Adding screenshots would help new users and contributors quickly understand:

  • what the popup looks like
  • how the extension appears when used on a real site
  • what kind of local privacy report the extension provides

Proposed fix

Update the README with visual examples of the extension.

Add:

  1. A screenshot of the GetBlocked! popup.
  2. A short GIF showing the extension being used on a normal website.

The GIF could show:

  • loading a website
  • opening the GetBlocked! popup
  • seeing blocked trackers / cleaned links / detected categories update

Files likely involved

  • README.md
  • assets/
  • Optional: docs/

Suggested asset names

assets/popup-screenshot.png
assets/usage-demo.gif

Acceptance criteria

  • README includes a screenshot of the extension popup.
  • README includes a GIF showing the extension being used on a site.
  • Images are stored in the repository, preferably under assets/.
  • Screenshot and GIF do not reveal private browsing data, accounts, emails, cookies, or personal information.
  • The README remains clean, beginner-friendly, and not too large.
  • Image file sizes are kept reasonable so the repository does not become unnecessarily heavy.
