Comment:

 Someone tried to port HTTPS Everywhere to Safari.  Of course the result
 was highly insecure. But since they're both webkit there may be some code
 that does some of the things you mention?

 However, I don't think we want to do any prep-work for a hypothetical
 Chrome extension until we know what kind of API Chrome is going to offer
 for request rewriting.  In particular, it's possible that Chrome will
 natively support some alternative form of HTTPS Everywhere ruleset:
