The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Universal pain point affecting billions of daily users
- Clear technical feasibility (extension/middleware approach proven)
- Potential dual revenue: B2C freemium + B2B SaaS for publishers
- Regulatory tailwinds (EU pushing for better consent UX standards)
- Low CAC if product is genuinely useful (viral potential)
Risks
- Legal ambiguity: auto-rejecting cookies may violate GDPR intent (consent must be informed/active)
- Publisher hostility: sites may block extension users or detect/break functionality
- Regulatory risk: could face legal challenges from privacy advocates or regulators
- Crowded space: similar extensions exist (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger) with limited traction on this specific problem
- Monetization unclear: hard to charge users for something they expect free; publishers won't pay if it reduces their consent rates
- Technical arms race: sites constantly evolve consent dialogs to prevent automation

Simple PC build recommendations for architecture software
Beginners without PC knowledge need guided recommendations for hardware setups that run architecture programs effectively.
Productivity
No easy way to hide Instagram stories from specific groups like coworkers
Instagram lacks a reverse 'close friends' feature to quickly hide stories from select people (e.g., colleagues) without hiding from everyone.
Productivity
Manual document processing creates bottlenecks in business workflows
Businesses waste time manually extracting data from invoices, contracts, forms and other documents. This creates delays and errors in workflows that depend on this information.
