If it’s an extension-website pairing it may be harder to market in general because it’s a complex architecture for users (need to do 2 things)

But stand-alone extensions are pretty easy to market.

For example my most popular extension had about 700_000 users with minimal marketing, I have another extension with 10_000 users with no marketing, another with 5000 users and no marketing, another with 1000 users (and it’s a pretty crappy one, my first) and no marketing

I’ve only been a web dev for 2 years, and building extensions for about 1.5 years

What do your extensions do?
All sorts of things - network blocking, devtools extensions, job-site salary revealers, design tools
I'm curious how to monetize something like a job site salary revealer
Oh that one I can’t monetise as people don’t want to pay for something like that, I just made that out of the goodness of my heart :P
