Capterra
G2’s older cousin for “best X software” queries. High intent, high effort, optional PPC. Not a launch party.
Capterra is how a lot of non-Twitter businesses still shortlist software. Category pages rank. Reviews — if you can get them — convert. You can also buy clicks. None of that is a Product Hunt day.

If the product is a browser extension, this is the launch. Google’s review, listing quality, and ratings are the game. Product Hunt is optional theater afterward.
Chrome Web Store search and category pages are how most extensions get installed. A complete listing (screenshots, privacy, single purpose) and a clean review matter more than any hunter board. Review time is not your calendar.
