What new risks would this expose users to that they are not already exposed to 
via the webRequest permission and the 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/executeScript
 API?

It seems to me that extensions can already get pretty much full control of the 
user's browsing experience. Is possibly enabling MITM _really_ any worse than 
that?
