I've developed a few browser extensions, and every week I receive numerous emails with "revenue offer". Some experienced developers know that offers like these will inject malware into the browsers of your users, but scammers who make these offers will not tell you about it. They offer "integrations" that don't look so suspicious. Imagine how many developers have accepted these offers. Then look at the number of extensions in your browser and think about how much risk there is that you have an extension with malware.

    I think i remember a post not to far back with a similar topic. Not sure if it was from the developer of the hooverzoom extension itself, but it definitly referenced some offers they collected.

    edit: just noticed, that the article also references the offers (ref. https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670 )

      I love the offer of almost $15k to then say they can bargain if the users are active, like if it’s worth that much without active users then that’s definitely shady.
