This might be doable with Content scripts but I'm not sure and it
might be tricky to do it safely:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Content_scripts
https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/page-to-extension-messaging

Note that this moves the coupling somewhere else, rather than removing
it: with this idea, you're replacing the need to maintain a stable
(and preferably versioned) API between the HTML+CSS and the
WebExtension, with the need to maintain a stable (and preferably
versioned) API between the JS from our website and the WebExtension.
I think it's a very good move.

Cheers,
