Sync RSS feeds with bookmark folders

This extension was previously called Foxish but was re-written to support Chrome Manifest v3. At this time it was simplified since Chrome no longer limits bookmark access like it did in the past and efforts were made to future proof it.

⚠️ Bookmark syncing between multiple devices will cause duplicate folders and is not supported.
