It'd be nice if there was a browser permission along the lines of "this extension adds a static asset to every page" or "this extension can _write_ but can not _read_ the page".
- aasasd 5y agoTo add static CSS styles, you need to know the structure of the HTML in advance, which the extension doesn't. And to modify the DOM—even to add styles on it—you need to traverse it, i.e. read. Plus, the whole job of the extension is probably to figure out what styles are on the page already and how they can be fiddled into the darkness.
