Make money on browser extension – possible?
Is there anybody out there making money on browser extensions? I wonder if any business models are based on that (most browser extensions are free / just an addition to the main product).
Products making money from browser extensions aren't traditionally thought of as browser extensions. 1password, bitwarden, and others are a good example. These are password managers, but the most common way of using them is via an extension.
I am willing to pay for this translation plug-in I use. For example, if I type this word and click the space three times, you can see it in English.
How about developing and supporting a browser extension for some company?
Have you researched what extensions are able to do? For example extensions for VPN service which is never free.
I would like to pay for adBlock if it becomes paid, I do not use any other extension regularly.
I've seen multiple products that let teams collaborate/leave comments on any website. Examples that I found now:
- ruttl.com/website-annotation-tool
- xaviesteve.com/common
but I remember seeing others in the recent months on r/SaaS and r/SideProject.
