Abstract
Web browser extensions are increasingly popular to customize and personalize browsing experiences. Several browser extensions provide client-side mashups which augment content currently being displayed. There have been no efforts yet to understand how these approaches relate conceptually. This paper analyzes mashup extensions by reformulating them as meta-querying. This gives a generalized view of client-side mashup provisioning which (i) shows the robustness of relational technology and (ii) can guide the engineering of these Web information systems.
