Any indie developers making money from browser extensions?


Running a successful business or getting ramen profitable from extensions, what's your story, challenges, marketing, etc?

I run https://extensionpay.com which lets devs take payments for their extensions without needing to run their own servers. So I happen to know that my users have made over $11k since I started earlier this year! Not bad.

I also wrote this article showing 7 indie extensions that make quite a bit of money: https://extensionpay.com/articles/browser-extensions-make-mo...

Likely don't qualify as "indie", but grammar.ly and joinhoney.com are both businesses built around browser extensions.
