Web request tainting (Collusion/Lightbeam)

[chrmod]

Mozilla Collusion later named Lightbeam was an experimental add-on to expose complex behavior of tracking online.

Specifically, it was visualizing web request hierarchies - when one trackers was "inviting" other ones to the page.

To make it fully viable, webRequest API would have to know from which script it was indicated. That information is already partially available in Chrome Dev Tools, but it is not exposed to web extension.

@chrmod Could you clarify the specific request here? It wasn't clear to the participants of the WECG meeting what the request here is about.
