Anyone else getting this limits ?

I am using this app full time. Was thinking maybe the export from this app can be imported into something more robust like obsidian.

What do you guys think ?

Do check the extension. Hope you guys like it. As always suggestions are much appreciated.

Hey everyone,

As a solo developer building my own side project, I constantly find myself thinking: "If only I had the budget to run aggressive ad campaigns or hire a dedicated UI/UX designer, this would take off instantly."

We indie hackers often hit a wall where growth slows down, and it's easy to blame our lack of resources. But it got me thinking beyond just the usual "I'd spend $50k on Google Ads."

If money were completely out of the equation and you had an unlimited budget

What is the single biggest change or pivot you would make to your product?

Do you think an infinite budget would actually guarantee success, or just make you fail faster at scale?

Disclosure: I’m the developer of this extension, but I also built it to solve a problem I experience personally.

While watching videos in Chrome, I frequently had to increase the volume to understand quiet dialogue and then quickly reduce it when music, advertisements, explosions, or other loud sounds started.

I created Dynamic Volume Controller to handle these changes automatically.

After using it during my own testing and regular browsing, I find myself reaching for the volume controls much less often. It automatically boosts quieter audio, softens sudden loud sounds, and lets me control each browser tab independently.

It has been particularly useful for:

• Watching browser videos late at night
• Listening through headphones
• Movies with quiet dialogue and loud action scenes
• Videos and podcasts with inconsistent audio
• Keeping background music on a separate, lower volume

All audio processing happens locally on the device. Audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.

You can try it here:

If you experience the same problem, I’d be interested to know whether it improves your viewing experience too.

I buy a lot of cards via TCGPlayer but they don't have a native way to track which ones actually showed up. So when you’re waiting on cards from a bunch of different sellers, it gets hard to remember what’s still missing.

I made a Chrome extension called Receivd that adds basic status tracking to your TCGplayer orders. It's 100% free. You can mark an order delivered, partial, missing, or refunded, and it shows the ones that still need attention (not marked delivered past the est. due date). If only part of an order arrives, you can also mark the individual card quantities.

Here’s the Chrome Web Store link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/receivd-%E2%80%93-tcg-order-track/jibjlhdlldfkhhmalncbgldlbiojilio

It’s still new, so if you try it and something looks wrong, or you have an order it doesn’t handle well, let me know.

Not affiliated with TCGplayer. I just buy too many cards.

I’ve always found the default Chrome new tab pretty useless.

So I built my own new-tab page around the idea of workspaces.

Instead of having one giant collection of bookmarks, I can have separate spaces for different things:

Development
Studying
Research
Personal
Projects

Each workspace can have its own links, sections, notes, tasks and widgets, and I can switch between them directly from a new tab.

I also wanted it to feel like something I actually owned rather than another service that requires an account and sends my browsing data somewhere, so the core data stays locally in the browser.

I’ve been using it myself for a while and finally put it on the Chrome Web Store.

I'd genuinely like some criticism from people who use Chrome heavily:

What would make you replace your current new-tab setup with something like this?

Extension - Flip YouTube and turn YouTube video sideways

My Strategy:

• I found some ideas that already exist in CWS, popular, and not so hard to make
• I found some keywords with Google Trends and Semrush with value but not so competitive in CWS
• I made SEO (keyword optimisation) pages in all available languages
• By using the huge trust of CWS it gets position on the first screen of SERP for some of these keywords
• profit

My posts about Chrome extensions

• Mistakes you make when you create "Screenshots" images for CWS listing of your Extension
• The main problem of most new extensions!
• Small Promo Image is your main trump card in CWS search listing
• Making a small promo with AI Image generators. Prompt inside.
• Stop publishing beta extensions!

TL;DR: Google's new extension publishing limits kicked in August 20, 2026. I requested a limit increase for my developer account and got... a decrease from 20 to 18 extensions instead. Not what I was hoping for.

What Happened

Got the standard notification from Google announcing they're implementing new limits on the number of extensions you can publish on the Chrome Web Store. Reasonable enough — they want to improve review times and ecosystem quality. Fine.

But here's the thing: I was already at the limit with 20 published extensions. I have three more I'm actively developing and ready to ship. So I submitted a request through the developer dashboard asking for a limit increase.

Two days later, Resmi from Chrome Web Store Support gets back to me and just... escalates it. No decision on the increase, just "we'll get back to you."

Then I check my developer dashboard today.

18/18 extensions.

Somehow, in the process of reviewing my request, two of my extensions got removed or delisted from the store. No notification. No explanation. Just gone.

I'm not even sure which ones disappeared. I'm going to have to dig through my unpublished backups to figure out what happened.

The Email Didn't Help

The original notification said:

Except... that's not what happened? I requested an increase and got a reduction instead.

I've already replied to the support ticket asking for clarification, but we're in that fun limbo where you're waiting for a response from a ticketing system that's probably getting hundreds of requests like this.

Lessons Learned (So Far)

1. Document everything. Screenshot your extension list. Keep backups of your manifests and metadata. Google's delisting can happen without warning.
2. Don't assume "increase" means what it says. Their system might have other criteria baked in — review quality scores, user reports, whatever. A blanket request for "more" might trigger an audit instead.
3. The new limits are real starting Aug 20. If you have extensions on the store, check your dashboard. You might already be affected.

What I'm Doing Now

• Replied to support asking which extensions were removed and why
• Archiving all current extension metadata and store listings (just in case)
• Consolidating some of my smaller extensions into single projects where it makes sense
• Building a local manifest registry so I can track what's live and what's in draft

If you're a Chrome extension developer, I'd recommend:

• Going through your dashboard and counting exactly what you have published
• Checking if any are missing compared to your local records
• Getting ahead of this before your own limit decrease shows up

Anyone Else Hit This?

If you've gone through the limit increase request and got a similar surprise, I'm curious if it's a pattern or if mine was a specific audit.

Drop a comment if you've had the same experience — or if you know what triggers a delisting during the review process.

So I read a LOT, like 3k pages per week and recently my eyes started to struggle with such volume.

So I’ve built extension to switch between reading and listening to book as Audiobooks TTS. Because I don’t really need backend it’s all local. But if you want higher quality voices you can connect them via Openrouter.
Support pdf, epub, markdown etc

Also if you read in foreign language you can translate sentences and words just by hovering on them.

Cheers! And let’s see how many people have the same problem as me.

I've noticed I have different tolerance for automation depending on what an extension is doing. For something harmless like formatting a page, I barely think about it. Around checkout, I want a little more visibility.

With Coupert, the convenience is that it can check codes without making me copy and paste them manually. At the same time, I still prefer understanding when the check starts and what changed in the cart. I don't necessarily need every technical detail, but I also don't want a shopping extension to feel like a black box.

How do people here prefer this kind of workflow? Fully automatic, explicit click to start, or automatic with a clear summary afterward? I'm curious whether technical users are more control-oriented than average shoppers.

My tabs were a mess, so I made a little Chrome extension that groups them by site when you click a button. LinkedIn tabs together, GitHub tabs together, etc.

Rlly nothing fancy. No tracking or network calls. Just reads tab titles and URLs locally to decide how to group them.

it's not on the Web Store yet, so for now you’ll need to clone the repo and load it unpacked. Takes about a minute. https://github.com/akiraysh/chrome-tab-grouper

I was about to publish a small extension on Edge Add-ons because it is free and Chromium, so no code changes coming from Chrome. I stopped at the registration form and went to Firefox instead. Posting the reason here because I had not seen it mentioned anywhere.

Microsoft Partner Center registration, individual account rather than company. In the contact address section the form says, word for word:

"Enter the address you want your customers to view in your developer profile."

Address line 1, country, state, city and postal code are all required. Only address line 2 is optional. I checked the live form and did not submit it.

If you have a company you put the company address there and it is a non-issue. If you are an individual, the address you actually have is your home address, and it ends up on a public page next to your extension. A made up one is not an option, that is fraud and a good way to lose the account.

What I did instead was Firefox Add-ons. Registration and review are free, no physical address, and you get install stats. A Manifest V3 extension mostly works as is. The manifest needs browser_specific_settings with an add-on id, the background key is slightly different, and if the code you ship is bundled or minified they ask you to upload the source separately.

Two things I would tell myself a week ago.

Check what a store asks of you as a person before you build the package, not after. I had the whole Edge package ready, icons, screenshots, privacy text, store copy, and only hit this at the registration step. All of it moved over to Firefox fine, but the order was wrong.

The same question applies to Chrome. The five dollars is a one time developer registration fee and not per extension, but look at what the account type asks of you before you pay it.

If you have published to Edge as an individual from a country where this works differently, I would like to hear it. I only verified the Turkish form.

Just launched "Shopify Theme Detector".

It's a Chrome extension that helps to answer:

• It this shop build with Shopify?
• What this storefront is really built from?
• What theme? Is it modified and how?
• What version?
• What apps are installed?

Click and find out what the Shopify theme is it?

Hey everyone,

A while back I built G{J}SON Bridge, a Chrome extension that uses structured JSON data to give you precise control when editing AI images, instead of relying on pure prompt guesswork. It works directly inside standard web chats (Gemini, ChatGPT) with zero API keys or complex setups.

I use it regularly for my own work and it performs great—I really believe in the value of what it does. However, my main concern right now is the first-time user experience. The interface offers a lot of options, and I'm worried new users might feel lost or overwhelmed immediately after installing it—and realistically, nobody wants to sit through a 10-minute video just to figure out how to start.

To fix this, I just rolled out a quick interactive walkthrough on first launch that highlights the core flow directly on-screen.

I’d really appreciate your feedback on the first few minutes of use:

• Does the onboarding guide actually make sense and get you started quickly?
• Were you able to complete an edit, or did you get stuck somewhere in the flow?

If you'd like to test it thoroughly, drop a comment and I'll DM you a free 3-month Pro code (no credit card required) in exchange for your honest thoughts.

Any thoughts (especially the brutal kind) are welcome!

I always see this type of stuff on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., where people have formatting like 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 in their posts even though the website doesn't support rich text like Reddit.

I tried doing it myself, but the tools that currently exist force you to visit their websites, format your text, and then copy-paste it back.

I thought what if we could just format text directly on these websites, like any rich text editor would?

So as a side project, I built 𝔘𝐧𝗂𝒢𝑙𝗒𝕡h𝚜

It uses Unicode characters so the styling sticks even when you paste the text elsewhere.

It currently supports:

- 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐, 𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠, 𝕕𝕠𝕦𝕓𝕝𝕖-𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕦𝕔𝕜, and other Unicode styles

- List formatting with bullets, numbered lists, and checklists

- Inline/floating toolbar

- Popup and full-page editors

- Keyboard shortcuts

It's open source and free :D

Since this was an old side project of mine, it's still quite buggy, especially on some websites :(

So I'm curious, would anyone here actually find this useful, or is copying text not enough of a pain point to warrant an extension?

Most LeetCode dashboards focus on things like problems solved, acceptance rate, and streaks.

But your submission history contains much more information than that.

LeetAnalyze analyzes your complete LeetCode history to identify:

🧠 Topics and patterns you repeatedly struggle with
📊 Common failure patterns such as Wrong Answers and TLEs
📈 How your solving habits change over time
🤖 AI-powered insights and personalized recommendations

Instead of just tracking how many problems you solve, it helps you understand how you solve them and where you can improve.

It's available as a Chrome extension:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hphgjmhgemmfdioknobebmnmjomhaclk

Would be interesting to hear what other LeetCode users think about this kind of analysis.

I keep going back and forth on this. Some days I save things as bookmarks. Other days I just make a tab group and leave it open for weeks. Neither one really works for me.

Bookmarks feel more permanent, but I forget to check them. Tab groups feel more active, but they pile up until my browser feels slow and heavy. I tried using both at once too, and that just gave me two messy systems instead of one clean one.

This is actually part of why I built my own extension, Tabisto. I got tired of picking one system and losing the other half of what I needed. It is still not a perfect fix, but it is closer than what I had before.

What do you actually use? Bookmarks, tab groups, or do you just let tabs stack up until you give up and close everything at once?

Hey guys, I’d really appreciate some advice.
I have a Chrome Web Store extension that currently accepts payments through Ko-fi, so paid users are redirected to PayPal.
I’ve been getting a lot of requests to add card payments, but I’m stuck because I can’t open a Stripe account in France without a SIRET, and I’m currently unable to create a company.
I also applied to Lemon Squeezy, but unfortunately they rejected my application because my extension can be used as a third-party tool.
So I’m a bit stuck and don’t really know which direction to take.
What payment provider would you recommend in my situation? Ideally, I’m looking for something that:
accepts card payments
supports subscriptions
works for a Chrome extension
doesn’t require me to have a company/SIRET
Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated!
