In general, you can define your own protocols. See org-protocol-protocol-alist docstring for details how to define custom protocols executing arbitrary elisp code. > I would like to use org-capture to get data while invoking some > Elisp, that I can capture into database.

You can add your own function to org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook and do whatever you want with the captured text, like passing it to external program. Once done, you can just call (org-capture-kill) to abort the capture and not save the data to org. > Chrome is no go here as I do not like getting tracked by Google.

Sure, bookmarklet should be the most universal solution working with pretty much all browsers.
