I have received numerous proposals to monetize this extension over the years, but I have decided to post them here for fun rather than for profit. I continue to maintain this extension myself because I can hardly trust others not to fall for these offers. I understand that not everyone has the same financial security, so I hope this sheds some light on the pressure faced by extension developers. On various dates, I have received proposals from different companies offering potential partnerships to increase revenues through collaboration. Some of these proposals involve monetizing user data, while others offer alternative methods of monetization that claim to be non-intrusive. There have been offers to purchase the extension as well.
