Browser extensions are one of the most important ways many users adapt a browser to their own workflow.
Priviot Browser is therefore intended not only to support extensions, but to eventually have its own Priviot Extension Store.
The store is meant to combine two goals: better Priviot compatibility and a dedicated distribution path for developers, designers, and users.
Why have a dedicated store?
Chromium and WebExtensions already provide a large extension ecosystem. A Priviot Store should not simply duplicate it.
The difference is the additional Priviot layer.
The Priviot Extension Store could show whether an extension:
is specifically optimized for Priviot Browser
has been tested with a particular Priviot version
uses Priviot-specific APIs
integrates with sidebars or contextual toolbars
works with Priviot Share
provides additional browser modules or designs
That gives users a clearer distinction between extensions that are merely compatible and extensions actually built around Priviot.
Extensions should be able to be free or paid
The store is not intended to be limited to free extensions.
Developers should also be able to sell their own extensions, themes, designs, and other content.
The currently planned model is:
developer account: €25 one-time
0% commission on free content
15% commission on paid content
A developer could therefore publish a simple extension for free, sell a more advanced extension, or offer a paid theme.
The same basic model is intended for other Priviot stores so developers do not face completely different commercial rules for every type of content.
More than traditional extensions
The store is intended to be more than a folder of conventional browser extensions.
Depending on the final technical model, it may eventually include different content types such as:
traditional browser extensions
themes and designs
Priviot-specific browser modules
sidebar or contextual-toolbar integrations
additional workflows around Priviot Share
other browser-focused extensions
Which APIs and content types are actually available will depend on the development stage.
Users and designers should be able to publish too
Not every customization needs to come from a large software company.
A theme can come from a designer. A small extension can be built by an individual developer. Experienced users may build tools for their own workflow and later share them with others.
The store is therefore not intended to become a channel only for large vendors.
The Priviot Store should not create lock-in
A dedicated store only fits the Priviot idea if it does not become the only permitted route.
The planned direction is therefore:
Priviot Extension Store for tested and optimized content—while Chromium/WebExtensions and sideloading remain possible alongside it.
You should not be forced to obtain every extension through Priviot.
The dedicated store adds verification, deeper integration, and distribution. It should not artificially disable open extension paths.
What “better compatibility” means
An extension may work on Chromium in general while still not integrating optimally with every Priviot interface or module.
A dedicated store can therefore provide clearer compatibility information.
For example, it can indicate:
which Priviot version an extension was tested with
whether specific Priviot capabilities are supported
whether a theme is designed for current UI areas
whether an extension depends on particular Priviot APIs
That does not eliminate every compatibility problem automatically. It creates a place where those details can be maintained deliberately.
Monetization without penalizing free projects
Free extensions should be able to remain free without a commission being charged where there is no revenue.
For paid content, a 15% commission is currently planned.
That creates a distribution path for commercial developers without putting a revenue charge on free community projects.
Still planned
The Priviot Extension Store is part of the planned browser platform and is not yet available as a finished store.
Store rules, technical APIs, and individual content types may continue to evolve before launch.
The current browser status is documented in the Priviot Roadmap.
Conclusion
The Priviot Extension Store is not intended to become just another catalog of the same extensions.
It is meant to become a place for extensions, themes, and modules designed to work closely with Priviot Browser—while also allowing developers and designers to publish free or paid content.
The key point remains openness: the Priviot Store should be an additional path, not the only one.
