Coil Extension

Coil builds on an open standard called Web Monetization (webmonetization.org).

https://webmonetization.org This is a brand-new standards proposal and not many websites support it yet. But it enables some amazing new experiences.

This extension only validates if your website has Web Monetization enabled.

This extension is also open-source. You can read the source code on Coil's GitHub: https://github.com/coilhq/web-monetization-projects/tree/master/packages/coil-extension
