We've seen this with the Chrome Web Store. With a flat $5 fee, and a limit to how many extensions each account could publish, that was probably pretty effective.
Maybe it would help here too?
What other alternatives could mitigate the problem?
Have been working on a dark mode extension for Chrome and Firefox. The idea is to make it as lightweight as possible.

termux-url-opener has been an excellent tool to easily make use of Android's share menu. Taking inspiration from "YouTube-DL the easy way on Android" [1], I made a script that adds a URL to my bookmarks server [2]. It'd be even better to write a script that has some rules or a prompt so that different URLs can be handled differently (e.g. video URLs prompt for download, or there could be a prompt to add the page to archive.org).

I've been working on making "pre-baked recipes" for a while to help with simple tasks like cutting/merging a video [0]. I recently made an npm package for making time lapses with effects from the command line with FFmpeg as well [1].

This isn't a program, but the document shortcuts (mostly the ones beginning with the control key)[0] on OSX have saved me heaps of time while maneuvering through text.
I learned them from Emacs on Linux and was pleasantly surprised to find that they work in almost every app on OSX.
With FFmpeg builds being produced for browsers[1], it'd be great see this working in a web app. I tried making one a few years back, but it was a little early. It only worked in Chrome, on a desktop, and with smallish MP4s at the time[2].

Note that this is not titled, "Curl will now format JSON". This will "Make curl display information on stdout after a completed transfer"[1].
I made a thing that sends an email when a list on the internet changes https://github.com/zvakanaka/list-lemur
I made a command line one kind of like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-json-cli
It's fun to play around with the algorithms in JavaScript. https://codepen.io/collection/AkoojL
