Create browser extension to run fa-scraper #80

With minor adjustments it looks like fa-scraper can be run on a browser via Pyodide. However, FilmAffinity does not allow doing cross-origin requests, so we would have to create a browser extension that has permissions over the FilmAffinity.

The extension could be inactive unless you are on your profile page (e.g. by checking the URL and that the name on the list matches the name on the top navigation bar) and provide a way to download the CSV.
