This has been done quite a few times before. Google Sidewiki, Genius Annotations, Hypothesis, etc.
Will this one catch on? Not sure, but I did hear an interesting argument that context may be the difference between success and failure for something like this. Those other projects didn't launch in an era where censorship was being pushed for on social media platforms, and focused on annotating as compared to 'free speech commenting' or what not.
Could be interesting to see if Gab's angle and audience may help this more by marketing it to a passionate, dedicated audience rather than the general public, and by giving it a message/mission statement beyond 'hey you can say random things with an extension now'.
