I'm thinking about a browser plugin that changes the text or images of websites before displaying them to the user. I guess it's similar to a web filter, but it doesn't prevent content from getting through, just alters it. like, e.g., Gizoogle, but built into the browser instead of being a site that you visit. What's this called? Browser layer? Web interpreter?

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

The most famous example is perhaps Grease Monkey for Firefox. I think that such plugins do not have their own name yet, but I would say they are "web page customizers". | |||||||

You could call them javascript userscripts, and Greasemonkey is a popular engine for them. Opera and Google Chrome has Greasemonkey built-in, so you do not need to install any extensions when using those browsers. There are many Greasemonkey userscripts available at userscripts.org, and it is not difficult to make your own. | |||
