Under the legal standards which are currently fashionable; i believe your only concern would be if you hacked into other people's/corporation's web-pages to permanently alter their appearances for everyone. If the add-on which you are concerned with is only residing in the end-user's computer, & the end-user has knowingly & willingly chosen to alter his view of those web-pages in that manner; then i do believe it is perfectly legal. I believe this it true even under modern malum-prohibitum based social-engineering schemes; & it is absolutely true under general American Constitutional-Law; which in turn is all based on sociological "Natural-Law", & which is all very supportive of "Open-Source" computing. This is just my opinion; & it does not constitute legal-advice.
