don't create extensions. create browser controllers. you can release them as binaries. anyone can download them. They instrument chrome using the remote devtools API.

and an idea I have for a browse controllers store here.

hm, interesting, though I'd worry that running a server on localhost might be a little more than most people would bargain for

server just for settings. you could do through a website, but just for ease I did it that way.
