It's probably do-able to write a little application that runs on the host machine -- and when the browser loads a website, the application consults freenet asking for commentary from other clients about that website.

You could do this a couple of ways; you could watch the history file for new URL's to tell you what URL has just been loaded, or the cache for HTML pages to see what HTML has just been loaded. And that could be the cue for your little application.

Are there any more direct hooks into browsers? Is there any "what URL is being displayed right now" API call for example?

You might find Protozilla, at http://protozilla.mozdev.org/, of interest.
