Comment(by pde):

 Could we maybe wrap the call(s) that Content uses to perform these
 redirects?  This seems conceptually similar to what Jonathan Mayer did
 with[http://fourthparty.info/ fourth party]
 [https://github.com/fourthparty/fourthparty/tree/038c04fa90c76913754f7877337b8b72f4eadbb5/extension/lib
 (code here)] to detect fingerprinting and other nefarious !JavaScript,
 although I think he is using Jetpack.
