Yes.  I know them.

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.  The hard part is
developing the code to access site A, site B, site C, ...

The best choice for this might be somewhere between the two extreme
choices.  Grouping of sites into extensions doesn't have to be done
according to a rule.

I saw this myself but it wasn't recently.  Perhaps the nonfree JS code
is a CAPTCHA you only get if you come in via Tor.

It describes itself as a "web-app client".  Is that another term for
the extensions we're discussing?  If not, how is it different?

If this does that task, great.  We can link to it and mark that task done.
Would someone volunteer to check it?
