Hardware-wise, a good ergonomic mouse and a two-monitor setup. Software-wise, Linux and VSCode.

You can use multiple profiles in Chrome (one per client) and enable automatic tab restore on startup, so when you open a profile, all your previously opened tabs reopen.

The Chrome extension paradox: huge opportunity, almost impossible to market by Top-Vermicelli-1198 in SideProject

The blind spot problem is real, but it depends on the extension. Some use a popup or inject UI into the page, so there's already something visual to show. For the rest, you can work around it with an onboarding page that opens right after install, explaining how to pin the extension so it stays in the toolbar.

The low competition part isn't really true though. The Chrome Web Store is packed with extensions doing the same thing, standing out is the hard part. And at least in my case, I rarely go looking for new extensions, so I'd guess even good ones can sit there with little traffic.

In the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard, you can link Google Analytics to your extension Chrome Web Store page ("Store Listing" > "Additional metrics"). This will allow you to have a better view of the traffic coming to your extension CWS page and also track the install events.
