Web browsers are sophisticated and crucial programs, and millions of users extend their browsers to customize their browsing experience. In this paper we argue the position that such extensions themselves constitute an important facet of web applications---one in need of serious programming-language research attention. We illustrate this position by contrasting the extension mechanisms of the two predominant extensible browsers, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, and highlighting their weaknesses. We then describe very preliminary work that addresses these shortcomings.
