Bluesky Follower Info Extension

Displays new followers' profile descriptions and stats directly in your Bluesky notifications feed, making it quicker to decide whether to follow someone back.

The extension displays:

- Profile description (tidied)
- Posts, followers and following counts
- Icons for:
- 📝 Posted
- ✅ Engaged (more than 25 posts)
- 🔥 Popular (more followers than following)
- 👍 Following
- Newer followers (< 2 weeks) shown in blue, older ones in grey
- A blue background for notification summaries (so you don't miss them)

> Only on-screen notifications are fetched, then cached (and refreshed if > 1 week old)

The options page lets you configure:

- Process (lists, feed, follows, reposts, likes)
- Profile (show emojis, compact view)
- Icons (posted, engaged, popular, following)
- Thresholds (posted, engaged, stale, old)

The extension currently supports English, French and Spanish App Language settings (it can't run otherwise, due to the way it injects content next to labels).

> To request a new language, please create an issue to help with translations.
