Website that puts cobwebs on another website chosen by the user (via an iframe?)

I'm not quite sure how that could be done...

I can't modify the contents of other websites embedded as iframes. The other option would be to make a request in my server and modify the content and then pass that, but then I'd be hosting an unsecured proxy which I don't want to do.

The only good way to do this would be with a browser extension, which I haven't got a clue on how to create. :/

Couldn't you just overlay some cobweb pngs over the iframe? And on scroll of the iframe you could move them accordingly.

Dang. Well time to write a browser engine in JavaScript! (Or do this server side)

i'm not a developer, but if somehow you could "screenshot" the target website, and present it in the website to "modify/gamify".

much like how google lighthouse takes screenshots of those target website speed check.
