Feature Request: Import bookmarks

[CubeOfCheese]

I just saw this pain point on reddit and thought it would be useful if people could import bookmarks from their browser when they first download the extension

Pain point: https://www.reddit.com/r/TabForACause/comments/hkzho4/is_there_any_way_too_see_my_standard_tab_screen/

Both Chrome and Firefox support exporting bookmarks:

Unrelated, but why is the subreddit restricted and unmoderated?

Thanks for the suggestion! There might also be a browser extension API to access bookmarks, which would be more seamless.

For those who just want their bookmarks bar, you can display it in your browser with CTRL/CMD + shift + B.

Re: the subreddit, our team hasn't been involved in moderating it.

bookmarks.getTree() looks like it should do it.
Requires an extra permission though. Come to think of it maybe it would be good to duplicate the bookmarks in tab for a cause into a folder of the browser's bookmarks for back up.

I imagine there will potentially be a lot of bookmarks saved in someone's browser and would therefore extend far past the bottom of the display.

Also this api will return a tree structure so maybe this should depend on #829
