[Feature]: Support Chrome channels and Chromium profiles #613

Description

Existing issues

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.

Problem or use case

Not everyone uses the stable Google Chrome release. When someone uses Chrome Beta, Chrome Dev, Chrome Canary, Chrome for Testing, or Chromium, those installations and their browser profiles should be available as cookie-import sources in Win-CodexBar. At present, the browser list does not expose these variants as distinct choices.

Proposed solution

Detect the Windows User Data directory for every supported Chrome channel and Chromium installation, and make each available as a separate cookie-import source while keeping existing Chrome and Microsoft Edge behavior intact.

Affected area

  • Tray panel
  • Settings UI
  • Config file / settings persistence
  • CLI
  • Provider-specific behavior
  • Installer / release packaging
  • Startup / background behavior
  • Documentation
  • Other
