Re:Show HN: Can a solo founder compete in the crowded Chrome... by Fotis-Karmpas on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @02:40PM (#50076546)
Everyone knows the browser extension market is crowded. I still choose to build my own extension

I'm a solo founder, and after months of building Thrivez.io, I've launched Thrivez Go on the Chrome Web Store.

It's a free extension that detects cashback opportunities at around 2,000 online retailers.

Here's what I built: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fodndcoojiniehbochn...

Iam wondering if i can as an independent solo founder succeed in such a crowded space or is it too late!

Would love to hear what HN thinks, especially from anyone who's launched an extension in a competitive market.
