Chrome extension, how to Modify page content (add something)

Question

I'm new to Chrome extension development, my first project (to learn) is to create an extension that adds some html to another website's existing page.

I plan on creating a 'page' action which fires for a page with a certain URL...

Has anyone seen a tutorial like this, or do you know of an API for adding html to a page?

You can find some example at Google Sample Extension page, however your question seems better answered on this other question.

The linked question is too old and chrome extension version 2 does not allow that modification. – loretoparisi May 25 '18 at 16:38
This is not an answer. It should be a comment – Alexey Khachatryan Dec 21 '22 at 18:38

There are a number of sample extensions on the Chrome extension API site. There are a couple of browserAction examples that will be almost identical to using pageAction.
