Hi Nirmit, welcome! Happy to see that you're looking to contribute to the open-source community. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula to find a project for your first contribution(s). My advice would be to first build one or more projects yourself (e.g. your own website, a simple web app that you can use on a regular basis ...) to get acquainted with the Github "workflow" (using multiple branches, committing, pushing, merging ...). After that, scan these websites for more info on how to get started:

And then it basically boils down to finding projects that match your stack.
In your case, Chrome extensions might be a good start since they're mainly a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Try to build a Chrome extension yourself and then look for Chrome extensions that you find useful, find out if they are open-source and scan their issues on Github.

Good luck!
