i don't like when websites change under my feet

i imagine if someone else modifies the page you
still get the updates so the page can change
while you are reading it..

and the back button does not work anymore

then when a proxy modifies the page (eg to remove
ads or tidy up the html) then the patching will fail

and dom-level diff is not enough anyway:
the content can be a huge wall of text which is a
single node in the dom i guess, so you need more
granularity

i'm not sure if this idea is feasible at all
