Ask HN: How do you build and monetize Chrome extensions? Does anyone have any experience with successfully creating and monetizing chrome extensions? I'm looking into doing this and want to see what I'm up against and if this is feasible. Also, being that chrome extensions are comprised of just HTML/CSS/Javascript, anyone can easily view and replicate the source code and compete against you. The only way that I know to circumvent this is to have your chrome extension interface with your server, where the actual functionality is hosted. What are your thoughts and experiences on this? |
