I figured out that there is no easy way to embed mozilla without the whole GUI stuff. So I suggest an extension to the embedding API:

A second component besides nsIWebBrowser that does not require the embeddor have a GUI and provides various useful methods (e.g. retrieving the DOM from a URI).

This could be used to write something like this:

- a new wget that
  - strips ads away
  - modifys the stylesheet
  - storing a webpage as rendered image
  - ...
- a webspider
- ...

I am not familar enough with mozilla to know if this can be easily done, so some feedback would be nice.
