I love the idea. I just wish the extension didn't require permission to "read and change all your data on all websites". I severely restrict the number of extensions I install with that permission. If any one of them is sold to unscrupulous people, or has a vulnerability, or just has their developer account hijacked, the extension can be silently updated to do anything, including for example stealing all of my money, or taking over any online account I use. It's a really scary permission when combined with silent automatic background updates.

It seems like it ought to be possible to do some or most of this functionality with more restrictive permissions.
