## Description

NewsBlur.com-Notifier is a Chrome extension designed to keep you informed about your unread articles on NewsBlur.com. It adds a convenient toolbar button displaying the total count of unread news items, updating regularly through the NewsBlur API or by parsing the title of an open NewsBlur tab to save API calls.

Clicking the button directs you to your NewsBlur reading list, either the entire collection or a specific folder you configure. This extension enhances your news browsing experience by providing seamless integration and real-time updates, inspired by previous notifier tools but rewritten for modern browser compatibility.
