I want to intercept the HTML and strip out ads or other content that the
user finds objectionable. There could be other things done to enhance the
surfer's experience also...but I'll settle for this as a start.

Even as an extension, it'd be a pin to make one for IE, Firefox, Opera,
Avant......etc. Whenever they upgraded their stuff, I'd be coding to catch
up.

Then, what about the Mac or Linux people? I suspect they'd like to be in on
what I'm planning....and I'd love to have them.

It won't be a website. It'll be a public proxy. Or run locally if they
prefer.

BTW, thanks for your interest and your thoughts on the subject.
