Basically I'm trying to emulate one of the following effects:

a) xmarks smarter search
http://www.xmarks.com/about/features

b) coolpreview's site preview
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207

or even the simpler
c) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/189

In the case of xmarks, the content is injected based on browsing
preferences, and I want that (and any other data used to determine
where/what content to inject) to be kept private.
