Tried this for about 10 mins and then figured out that it was publishing my browser history on the VCU site. So pretty much done with that for now.

I think about how cool something like this would be, pretty frequently. Hopefully, you have plans on porting the add-on to Safari.

The program to do this back then was called uTOK. I think it acted as a local HTTP (who needs the S ;-) ) proxy and would intercept requests and inject its HTML so you have a hovering DIV on the page with people's comments. I remember seeing people comment on CNN news articles.

Ah, imagine the toxicity if that's around nowadays.

Edit: ah it had its own window:
