Be careful with anyone who does want to buy it outright. If it doesn’t have revenue, then the buyer is almost certainly going to use it as a malware or adware distribution channel (https://www.wired.com/story/chrome-extension-malware https://www.wired.com/story/chrome-extension-malware), even if they claim otherwise.
Of browser extensions with no revenue, I’ve never heard of a legitimate buyer acquiring one. Your choices are basically: let it keep going as-is, try to turn it into a business yourself, or contact a related company you trust and see whether they’d want to adopt it (acquire it for free), possibly paying you to maintain it.
- Ddel 9y agoYeap, you right. I saw many stories about malware in sold extensions. Also, I've talked with such company, and they offered me a couple of thousands but told me straightforward that want to embed an aggressive advertisement inside. That is completely inappropriate for me because I respect my users. I also tried to contact with companies with related business and have sent about 15-20 offering emails. But no luck: only a couple responses, which sound like "Thanks, but we are not interested." Others just ignored it.
