"modify the windows networking stack" is not an absurd description of that.
Just to be clear, Facebook and Google hate any software that allows users to modify content within their walled gardens (whether that's an adblock, ad injector, or other). These companies want a totally controllable user experience in order to maximize their own user metrics and monetization. My fear is that these companies will use this Superfish debacle to attack and restrict the ability for users to download legit…
Ah, so this is why Facebook tries to load Flash on almost every page... Allows them to gather data like this. Always wondered why Flash was "needed". (another reason to put Flash behind click-to-play and/or push for HTML5 video)

To be fair, I'm sure any website owner would want to prevent others from modifying their own website and how users view/interact with it.
Userscripts and userstyles are very popular, and I see no particularly large backlash against them.

Never mind that Facebook sees all the computer user's Facebook traffic, and cross-indexes it with every other bit of data gleaned from their vast graph and uses it for profit.
