Describe the bug

CRA documentation currently has multiple links pointing to outdated and non-existant extensions.

Steps to reproduce

Google Chrome extension

  1. Open the documentation page Setting up your editor
  2. Click on the JetBrains IDE Support external link.
  3. 404 extension not found

VSCode Marketplace

  1. Open the documentation page Setting up your editor
  2. Click on the Chrome Debugger Extension external link.
  3. You should be able to see that the extension is now deprecated and no longer maintaned as seen on the official extension page and repo

Expected behavior

There shouldn't be links pointing to outdated extensions or non-existant pages.

I think the VSCode one is pretty self-explanatory so I'll cover the WebStorm one:

Not entirely familiar with WebStorm, but according to their official task tracker the team was already discouraging its usage and then it eventually became deprecated and removed from Google Chrome extensions.

In addition to that, there's also no mention of the need of a browser extension to debug Javascript applications as it can be seen on their official documentation.
