Actually I would invert the problem: I wish nyxt itself were a webextension. IME Using a WebKit forks (or whatever) will always eventually be insufficient.

Unfortunately, it can't. Even something as simple as catching all keypresses globally is impossible with WebExtensions. Having to insert UI elements into pages is also pretty limiting and not a great user-experience with resource-hogging sites.

Seems like a missed opportunity
