Swaybien Extension

Swaybien gives you a way to open up one of your bookmarks at random.

When you click on Swaybien, it will display a list of all of your bookmark folders. Clicking on a folder name will randomly select a bookmark from that bookmark folder and load it up.

Features a \"Recently Used\" history and some swell options to entertain you!

The name is based on the Mandarin word for \"whatever\", which is normally romanized as \"suíbiàn\".

CHANGELOG
===
v0.0.5
2015-02-22
- Added an \"Exclude Folders\" list to the options menu, to allow you to hide certain folders from Swaybien.
- Fixed a bug in the \"Recent\" list that would display the old folder name even after a folder had been renamed.

v0.0.2.5
2014-10-11
Added two options:
- You can specify the number of items to display in the \"Recent\" list.
- Items that appear in the \"Recent\" list can optionally be excluded from the main list.

v0.0.2.2
2014-10-04
- Small bug fix related to using the extension across multiple windows, with the \"open in current tab\" setting. Previously only the first window opened would have its current tab updated; this fix properly updates the current tab in the current window.

v0.0.2.1
- Small bug fix related to formatting on the Recent section.

v0.0.2
- Added an option (enabled by default) to display the three most-recently clicked folders at the top of the popup.

v0.0.1.1
2014-07-27
- Popup window now closes automatically when opening bookmarks in current tab.
