There are also projects like qutebrowser which allow external programs to be plugins. In case of qutebrowser it uses the Chromium open source platform as rendering engine, etc. but completely relies on external Python scripts for plugins (including ad blocking).

If Firefox goes down the Chrome route with their forced advertisement I can totally see something like this happening.
