I do something similar [1] but it leverages WebMCP (see Amazon example [2]). Could probably turn it into a strongly typed API.

> Compatibility: Because extensions hook into websites in unsupported ways, updates to websites often result in extensions temporarily breaking, and extension authors scrambling to fix them.
Has anyone who's built a browser extension solved this?

The "read and change all your data" permission is a huge hurdle for our shopping extension, especially since we only need to identify shopping pages. What I've tried to build trust is to open source our tracking analytics (e.g. https://github.com/Score-Extension/score-extension-analytics...).
Hopefully transparency is one way to overcome this trust barrier.
