Email Extractor is a Chrome extension that finds the email addresses on the page you are viewing and lets you download them as a CSV. Cody Schneider brought it up on Greg Isenberg's show as his favourite kind of small tool.

Data credibility: Cody Schneider, a guest on Greg Isenberg's show, reports that the Email Extractor Chrome extension has 300,000 users and a free plus paid tier he recalls at roughly $10–$15. The user count is the kind shown on a public Chrome Web Store listing, but no screenshot is shown here. His $250K–$300K/month figure is his own guess and is not used. Revenue is unknown.
For Email Extractor, meet the user at the moment they need an address list from a page. Keep the extension name literal, make its browser-store description explain the exact workflow, and show a short demonstration of selecting a page and exporting a CSV.
For a browser utility with a free tier, the first paid conversion should follow a completed extraction rather than appear before the user sees the result. Let the free workflow prove that the extension finds usable addresses and creates a clean CSV.
A single-purpose extension can grow through exact-match discovery and word of mouth. Users searching for an email extractor find a listing that says precisely what the tool does, try it on a real page, and recommend it when someone asks how to perform the same task.
A small extension may produce little feedback until it fails on a page a user cares about. Make that silence manageable by adding a simple “report a problem” action near the export result and capturing the page type, browser version, and error without collecting more page content than necessary.
