Tactics that have been used against similar tools:

- Changing the generated HTML so that the extensions selectors no longer grab the right data (this becomes a cat and mouse game and there’s a non-zero chance that the extension authors tap out, especially if there’s not enough money to sustain the workload)

- Filing nuisance complaints (DMCA is a standard one here, but there are lots of others)

- Filing a copyright lawsuit in court

- Filing other court lawsuits (lost income, slander, etc)

In many cases the business knows they are fighting a losing battle but all they need is more resources, more time, or more patience.
