Browser extensions are underrated: the promise of hackable software
I will leave this as a gallery of emails with offers to buy extension hoverzoom: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670
Sidenote: The "collaboration" offers come from time to time even to non-extensions projects, if they are reasonably widely used. E.g. simple tools (rather widely used suite of android apps recently sold).

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
> Manifest V3 will stop this by limiting what Google describes "remotely hosted code." All updates, even to benign things like a filtering list, will need to happen through full extension updates through the Chrome Web Store. They will all be subject to Chrome Web Store reviews process, and that comes with a significant time delay.
So the author can't think of any other reason for this change other than to "slow down ad blocker updates"
Well how about stuff like this: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670
Where an extension dev details offers to "monetize" his app and basically perform a bait and switch and make it malicious.
- A Browser Extension developer on the temptations for monetization
-
Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
These type of offers are actually quite common. See this[0] and the discussion[1]. I try to stick with only the most popular of extensions in the hope that any malicious changes would be widespread news, but it is still a gamble.

Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge
It's not an exact drop-in replacement. There are many filtering capabilities that cannot be ported [1] to MV3, filtering lists can only be distributed through extension updates [2], and filtering is unreliable.
