Low Rated Google Chrome Extensions [< 2.5 Stars]
If you’re looking for some inspiration to build Chrome extensions, here’s a list of 100+ Google Chrome extensions that did not take off.
The failure reasons for these extensions might be:
- poor execution of ideas
- less or no marketing
- devs didn’t follow users’ feedback, etc.
Most of the neglected Chrome extensions mentioned here have more than 10,000 downloads — means there’s a demand but the extensions weren’t able to fulfill it.
And, you always have an option to make it better and relaunch on the Chrome Webstore. These extension ideas are already validated by thousands of downloads — it just needs a fresh approach to it.
