If I could get 1/10th that many installs on https://2fb.me https://2fb.me I’d make a million dollars a month.

  How exactly?

    Yea, I'm also curious.

      I'm guessing by scraping/ selling data. How else do chrome extensions make money?

  Mind elaborating, how?

  Carr to elaborate

    There will be an HN post dedicated to the core idea. I'm very close to releasing an API for all Chrome Extensions shortly.

      Do you mean some way of integrating donation requests by extension devs?
    • point78 7y ago
      I think we're all specifically asking how the heck you monetize extensions

        By adapting the 2FB API (which you can use today adding 2fb.me before ANY link.. i.e https://2fb.me/https://news.ycombinator.com https://2fb.me/https://news.ycombinator.com ) Iv'e made many posts about it and didn't get much attention but now that people are starting to understand the power of this service; I'm moving on to release it as a free and open source Chrome Extension SDK with additional features and examples. I think it's a good idea to specifically serve the Chrome Developer community. And once I have some semblance of API documentation up, I'll post about it. Hold on.

  turns out 2fb.me redirects users to this PayPal page after they share their twitter post on Facebook: https://www.paypal.me/qkast/2#_=_ https://www.paypal.me/qkast/2#_=_

    Is this different than the myriad other FLOSS that has popups asking for donations?
