Since it appears the Firefox and Chrome stores themselves don't offer any kind of visibility-boosting features, are there any other tools/services you've found useful to increase the number of active weekly users?
The simplest way to grow it is to share the link to it in this thread – you have eyes on you, take advantage of them.
I have no experience to share on the creator side, but as a user I am ever fearful of extensions getting rugpulled. Many popular but fading extensions sell out to nefarious companies just looking for users to adspam. Please don't do that.

As for being concerned about a rugpull, I definitely get it. My approach is to keep as much of the product open source as possible and be very transparent around any ownership changes.

Thanks for the idea of sharing the extension but I'd like to focus any discussion around growth itself. As for being concerned about a rugpull, I definitely get it. My approach is to keep as much of the product open source as possible and be very transparent around any ownership changes.
I grew it by adding features that people would ask for on the site's forums, for example a user would say "hey can we have x feature?" and I would respond saying "great idea, I added x feature to my extension y!" This was very effective and over time others would start responding saying my extension had whatever feature they were asking, capitalizing on how relatively slow companies are to implement features.
This does rely on the extension having a site it operates on and having a forum for users though. If I were to do it today I'd focus on finding places where my extension's users concentrate, Discord, a community Slack, or otherwise, and doing the same thing.

I've built a tool for this. How can I DM you?

I used to have a pretty successful browser extension that I shut down because the site it worked on shut down.

The false positive rate at first was over 50% but with some prompt tweaks and back testing, it’s approaching 10-20%
