$20k seems like a pretty lowball offer? Close to 1M users (plus potential for further growth) and you have me expecting at least $400k... Or, am I expecting too much?

There isn't potential for further growth if it gets bought. They just want to serve malware to the existing userbase.
That is still $0.02 per user. Not a bad deal.
JSON Formatter is more aimed at technical users. I wonder if an extension with 1M less technical users would next higher.
I feel like the rate is determined by the market and/or the profit model of the buyer.

So a) there are other extension authors with similar coverage who are selling out and/or b) they can't turn a reasonable profit at a higher price.

how do you suggest to make those 400k back in any reasonable amount of time?
