    Ask HN: Ideas on how to monetize Firefox or Chrome Extensions?

    Honest question, can you possibly expound on how you got that message? Does it mean web apps are necessarily better than developing for browsers via extensions?

    Well, I'm mainly referring to the very early prototype stage, where you spend as little as you can. If you have some early funding (either self funding or family) then you can use …
