I want to access current tab's HTML elements from chrome extension.

I have manifest.json like:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Scrapper",
  "description": "Scrapper extension.",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "action": {
    "default_popup": "index.html",
    "default_title": "Scrapper",
    "default_icon": "scrapper.png"
  },
  "permissions": ["tabs"]
}

index.html like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Scrapper extension</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="button_class">
        <input class="fetch_button" type="submit" value="Fetch profile data" />
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
</html>

And script.js file like this:

async function fetchData() {
 const tab = await chrome.tabs.query({active: true, lastFocusedWindow: true});
 console.log(tab[0])
 console.log(tab[0].title)
 console.log(tab[0].url)
}
fetchData();

In the extension console I am getting output for tab[0], tab[0].title and tab[0].url like this:

Scrapper console

Inside tab[0] there is no HTML as we can see here:

inside tab image
