Why do you feel entitled to a payout for an event in which you were not involved and for which you experienced no damages?
Custom element names must contain a hyphen for forwards-compatibility, and these do not.

An option for the best of both worlds would be to wrap the markdown in a <noscript> tag.
Not extensions, but I have a few userscripts I use to fix minor annoyances with various websites:

- Netflix - Skip intros and quickly go to next episode

- Github - Linkify branch names in PRs

Why not just get a card with 1.5% cash back or more and make a donation? The Foundation would get more and it's tax deductible for the cardholder.
