Comment on Ask HN: How to monetize a Browser Extension without making users pay or leave?parent

Comments

actually the extension targets one specific site and they wouldn't really be happy about it

it's nothing nefarious but it's adding a feature that they refuse to add to their websites because it could hurt some of their numbers

Adversarial compatibility is a good thing for users.

If the site doesn't want to implement what your extension would do then either they will try to shake you down, buy you out, or implement the feature on their site. The latter two seem like a positive for you.
