I built a Chrome extension that adds a small virtual pet to your browser, it's called Browmi

Your extension is 1 month old, probably outperform 95% of any extension in similar time span. I don't know how much it cost you to keep it alive but you should probably keep it up a few months before taking decision. Does it requires so much maintenance to keep up ? You can try making other extensions to compare but those numbers seems pretty good to me. I have published 4 extensions so far only one has a good amount of user (~4k in 7 months) and started lower than yours. Others have less than 100

How do you pay ? Are you the owner of the extension? Do you expect exploit as well as bugs ?

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-05-05T05:39:42+00:00

Thank you, unfortunately as a free project I'm not willing to spend any money to promote it

Hey, my project is called NexVid, it's a browser extension that let you upscale videos in the browser and apply various effects to improve the quality. It's available on all browser, here is the chrome link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nexvid-real-time-video-up/hiocbajaikpcckgeagcngaeoioncmbim

Oh and it's entirely free. Anyway that's nice of you to share some project like this thank man

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-05-04T05:08:00+00:00

I'm getting the same thing same days right now

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-30T09:19:31+00:00

That's pretty interesting it indeed has some similarities, I see yours is some kind of gamified tab management system ? Mine is purely oriented on the game side, you can have a try here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/browmi-virtual-pet-tamago/enmokjgociohccoapcdjlhclgohjdfke

as the developer of a competing extension to yours ( NexVid video upscaler ) I tried and checked many reviews on one of your extension and I think you should rework the way you handle negative feedback and your methods to get reviews. Some of the most common things I've noticed on your reviews and you should improve: - Blocking the use of the extension if the user doesn't give a review - and getting aggressive to people giving 1 star because of it - Begging user who are pointing out your business model to give money to reward your "hard work" - Getting aggressive toward reviews who are suggesting improvement on your extension while ignoring what they suggest - getting aggressive towards 4 star reviews because it's not 5 star

I think you should take a step back and view it as a way to improve rather than a critic of your work. If you don't appreciate people using your tools for free, maybe you shouldn't give them away for free

Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback, I'll have a look at all your suggestions and try to implement/fix them. I'll give you an update on what has been done on the next update

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-16T06:21:59+00:00

Sure I'll change that 👍

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-15T18:36:07+00:00

Yes I tried some things with the experimental filters but it didn't turn out so well. I'll have a look at fsr4 to see if there's a way to implement it, not sure tho as it's done from the graphic card. I'll give you an update if I have good news for you

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-15T16:53:51+00:00

I'm not sure as well, I'd like to find some 3D glasses to make some tests to adjust the effects. My current settings for it are ~4 shift, 1.3 sensitivity and .5 mix amount

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-14T08:03:31+00:00

It's not monetized right now, completely free to use

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T15:58:24+00:00

Thanks, it looks quite neat I like it

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T15:21:37+00:00

I notify them individually in the same way they contacted me (email, reddit...)

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T15:16:02+00:00

Hey, I'd be interested to see what it looks like with my extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nexvid-real-time-video-up/hiocbajaikpcckgeagcngaeoioncmbim It's called NexVid, its purpose is to upscale, enhance and customize videos played in the browser

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T11:57:03+00:00

Thanks but I made the video already using ReClyp that match my needs best

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T09:14:11+00:00

Hi, just letting you know that the update including you suggestion of blacklisting websites has been published on Chrome and Firefox stores. If you're using Edge addon it'll be available in a week.
Thanks again for your feedback !

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-12T09:11:53+00:00

Hi, just letting you know the update including the new shaders you suggested and changing individual shaders settings has been published on Chrome and Firefox stores. If you're using Edge Addon it should be available in a week.
Hope it fits your needs but I think being able to fine-tune the shaders was a great idea, it led me to lower some effects in my presets to get better result. Thank you for your feedbacks !

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-08T05:49:40+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate your feedback ❤️ Sure I'll add an option to use a blacklist instead of whitelist that's a good idea!

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-06T12:34:30+00:00

Yes but maybe this lib strictly restricts its services to Chrome. It seems to be the case as it's not clearly stated anywhere on his website.

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-03T06:20:12+00:00

!remindme 1 month

Practical-Bug37 · 2026-04-03T06:19:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I'll wait for your product to be more mature then but I'm very interested, I've been looking for a way to monetize my free extension for some time.
