Comment (by cohosh):

 Here are some links to MassBrowser, a project by a University of
 Massachusetts research group on Browser-based proxies. I don't think it's
 a web extension, but some of the features available to proxies (being able
 to decide how much bandwidth to provide, what kinds of exit traffic to
 support, etc.) would be interesting to look into as features for the web
 extension.

 Website (looks like their cert is bad): https://massbrowser.cs.umass.edu/

 Technical report: https://web.cs.umass.edu/publication/docs/2018/UM-
 CS-2018-005.pdf
 - the most relevant section is probably Content Whitelisting

 Code: https://github.com/SPIN-UMass/MassBrowser
