25 is not very many on AMO, there are only a few that seem relevant and most are unmaintained. The only one that really seems usable is the webscraper.io one. Maybe ScrapeMate but the author has left and is working on the Python/cloud ScrapingHub. Similarly Chrome has Web Scraper Plus w/ poor maintenance and the rest are wrappers/helpers for various websites. The extensions market isn't particularly lucrative, they're like mobile apps but with only 33% of users even knowing they exist. The SaaS companies don't have a growth limitation hence their success. But if you want an extension for a resume item or something getting a few thousand AMO users or Chrome reviews shouldn't be hard.
