Fantastic suggestion!

Implementation could with {browser}.storage.local with the 'unlimited' permission. This would allow users to manage a list of own backgrounds that are kept inside the environment of their browser.

Reference: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/storage#:~:text=storage.local,amounts%20of%20data.

This looks like it's also supported on Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/local#:~:text=In%20Firefox%2C%20the,the%20global%20limit.

Sample chad implementation for storing images as base64:

// Store image
function storeImage(key, imageData) {
    // Convert the image data to a base64-encoded string
    const base64ImageData = imageData.toString('base64');

    // Store the base64-encoded image data in local storage
    chrome.storage.local.set({ [key]: base64ImageData }, function() {
        console.log('Image stored successfully');
    });
}

// Retrieve image
function retrieveImage(key, callback) {
    // Retrieve the base64-encoded image data from local storage
    chrome.storage.local.get([key], function(result) {
        const base64ImageData = result[key];

        if (base64ImageData) {
            // Convert the base64-encoded string back to a Buffer
            const imageData = Buffer.from(base64ImageData, 'base64');
            callback(imageData);
        } else {
            console.log('Image not found');
        }
    });
}

Another interesting feature / idea regarding backgrounds:

• Hosting background images on https://uptab.vercel.app/backgrounds.

Users would be able to pick a theme (i.e. The Netherlands, Abstract, Steampunk, etcetera).
