It sounds like you're re-inventing Third Voice. Background here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Voice; please try to avoid the traps they stepped on.

As long as the extension asks permission for each domain you visit before allowing it to work I can't see why Google would call this an abuse of power. As others have said this is ripe for hijinks; imagine you're an Etsy seller, but a dozen bots are camped out on your page waiting to show you exactly where to get a knockoff of your creation for half price.

Hitchweb sounds like OpenComments, which I originally developed in 2016. It's now gone beyond an extension for Chromium-based and Firefox browsers to a Web app and an Android app.
