# Best platforms to launch a Chrome extension

Source: https://bestlaunchplatforms.com

> Chrome extensions should ship through the Chrome Web Store first (review queue, search, ratings), then Product Hunt for a public launch day, GitHub if the code is public, AlternativeTo for evergreen comparison, and Reddit only in communities that already talk about the problem. The store is distribution; boards are awareness.

The store is the product page. Everything else is extra.

Get approved on the Chrome Web Store before you burn a hunt day. Then Product Hunt, GitHub, AlternativeTo, and Reddit for people who will never browse chrome://extensions.

## Advice
- Do not schedule Product Hunt until the extension is approved and installable.
- Put a one-minute GIF of the extension doing the job in every listing.
- If the code is public, the README is the second product page — Show HN can wait for a later week.
- Reddit only works as a genuine post in a relevant subreddit. Cross-post spam dies.
