A Directory of Deprecated Chrome Extensions and New Opportunities (zombieextensions.space)

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but Google Chrome has been warning for a while that some extensions would be deprecated. What started as a warning is now a reality.

Thousands of Chrome extensions now display this alert:

This extension is no longer available because it does not comply with Chrome Web Store policies. Source: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769#un...

This means that many useful extensions have simply disappeared, leaving users without alternatives and creating opportunities for new solutions.

To track this situation, I created Zombie Extensions, a directory listing deprecated Chrome extensions to inspire developers and help them find ideas for new projects. If you’ve ever thought about building a Chrome extension but didn’t know where to start, this might be a good place to look.
