Author of the blog post here! If you comment with corrections/milestones I missed, I'll try to incorporate them
I'll also be attempting to update the augmented browsing/browser extension Wikipedia page in the coming weeks

According to the spec, Bookmarklets should actually be exempt from a site's CSP. The reason is that the user's preferences should take precedence over a site's preferences
There's an open bug in Firefox about this (because it doesn't follow the spec): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522

Yep, the first style manager extension was released in 2005 (Stylish). Style manager extensions are a much more frictionless way to manage and share styles
The WebExtensions API has APIs for injecting styles: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

Not an expert on this part, but I'd imagine that problem isn't having an API, it's more that running native executables is the problem if you can't sandbox them or limit their resource consumption. Also, relative to running Javascript, their base resource utilization per tab is significantly worse (especially for Java or .NET-based ones that have a base resource utilization from the VM)

Java falls under plug-ins. The Java plug-in was released in 1998. Flash was released in 1996
PixieBrix is a browser extension anyone can use to customize websites and SaaS to fit the way they work. (Think userscripts, but lego blocks)
