Who gets paid? The Chrome Extension developer? But it is the user machine/network performing the work, right?

There is something in this I don't like. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Our intention is to pay the developer. Of course, there'd be nothing stopping the developer from paying out to users as well.

Happy to get more feedback!

"Nothing stopping the developer from paying out to users as well" - this is absolutely ridiculous; of course a developer with absolutely no payment infrastructure is going to start relaying these ill-gotten gains back to users. It just doesn't work like that.
