Chrome Extension: How to inject code code into a new window

So let's say I want to inject some code to create a button on a new window in chrome (The window itself is opened via the extension's popup.js). How would I go about doing this?

you can use functions such as documnet.body.appendChild() instead of console.log() in foreground.js after opening files with the names I gave their names and filling them in this way. You can add whatever you want to the page this way.

background.js

function as(a,b,c) {
       
     chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "foreground.js"});
        chrome.tabs.insertCSS(null,{file:'./style.css'})
        console.log(a,b,c+'asd')
}
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
    as(tabId, changeInfo, tab);
});

foreground.js

window.onload=()=>{
    console.log('ok')
}

manifest.json

{
    "name": "plugin",
    "version": "1.0",
    "manifest_version":2,
    "background": {
        "scripts":["./background.js"]
    },
    "browser_action":{
        "default_popup":"popup.html"
    },
    "permissions":[
      "tabs",
        "https://*/*"
    ]
}

style.css
