Idea #1
A chrome extension that adds friction to online purchases by creating a “cooling-off” period
The Problem/Opportunity: There are many ways to find great business ideas. But one of the best is “review jacking”, where you look at product reviews where users love the idea but hate the execution. So when we came across this the other day, we knew we were on to something…
These are reviews for Icebox, an app that gives users a cooling-off period before making online purchases to prevent silly impulse purchases that we’re all guilty of.
So, let’s build a version of this that works.
Market Size: With over 3 billion internet users worldwide and e-commerce sales projected to reach $6.5 trillion by 2023, the addressable market is, to quote Donald Trump, “yuge.”
The Idea: A Chrome extension that adds friction to online purchases by creating a “cooling-off” period before a purchase can happen
How it Works:
A user signs up and adds the Chrome extension to their browser
When a user attempts to complete a purchase on an e-commerce website, the extension activates, introducing a mandatory waiting period (e.g., 24 hours) before the transaction can be finalized.
During this time, users receive reminders about their pending purchases and are encouraged to reflect on their necessities.
The extension could also provide budget insights and alternatives to help users make more informed decisions.
Go-to-market: You could make some great TikTok/video content on this to help spread the word. There’s a strong viral component to this idea.
Business Model: One-off fee to install the extension
Startup Costs: Find yourself a technical co-founder or hire a talented overseas developer from somewhere like Somewhere (see what we did there) to get your MVP built
Hold: This could be a great cash-flowing business, but you’ll unlikely get a huge exit here. But you never know!

The new Desktop Android project brings browser extension support to Chrome for Android, but there's a catch:
It's not intended for mobile devices.
