Web scraping to generate userstyles #2082

Description

Is there an existing issue outlining your problem?

  • I have searched the existing issues and they do not solve my problem.

Describe your issue.

Userstyles can be generated in combination with using Playwright to scrape the web pages, and LightningCSS to process and replace the colours.

There is a proof of concept at #2060.

Questions to answer:

  • What are the maintenance costs of maintaining our own web scraper?
  • What is the community sentiment on running a web scraper?
  • Should the code be centralized so then it can be used for several userstyles? (e.g. Gmail, Crates.io)
  • How should colour matching lists be defined in a maintainable way?
