I can confirm point 4.

I have a small, open-source Chrome/Firefox extension that has about 260 active users.

I was considering porting it to Safari, but I can't justify the $99/year fee for it.

Same here. My extension these days approaches 3000 users across Chrome/Firefox, but only a fraction of those visit the donations link and send something. It just makes no sense to pay $99 to maybe get a few donations. I don't want to make this a paid extension and then spend time and money on marketing and hope that maybe I will one day break even. I just want the extension to be available to users, that's all!

Is that too much to ask?
