Profitable Chrome Extension Ideas: 84k+ Manifest V2 Extensions to Buy or Rebuild
There are almost 100,000 Chrome extensions that will soon be disabled. This is a goldmine of opportunity to acquire or build an alternative.
P.S. This product is free—just enter 0 in the box—but if you want to support me, you can name a fair price (and I would love you for that! ❤️)
On June 3, 2024, the Chrome team started the phaseout of Manifest V2 extensions.
This is a HUGE deal.
- Extensions on V2 have already lost their Featured badge
- In the coming months, these extensions will be disabled
- Users will be offered Manifest V3 alternatives
- For a short time, users will be able to turn their V2 extensions back on
- But eventually, this toggle will go away
As of my last scrape, that is currently 84,504 extensions on Manifest V2 and a total of 426 MILLION USERS across them.
This list contains enough Chrome extension ideas to last you a lifetime!
You'll get the full list in a CSV file that you can filter to find high-potential extensions that have a proven user base and will be a gap in the market when they get disabled.
Find an abandoned extension with lots of users and:
- Try to acquire them and rebuild on Manifest V3
- Create a new extension to compete and fill the gap in the market
- Build these ideas into an existing extension you have (with import options if needed)
