Chrome Web Store
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.

FutureTools is one of the better-known AI directories after TAAFT. Submission is a form plus wait. Ranking inside a category is the prize, not ‘getting listed.’
Matt Wolfe’s FutureTools catalog is a filter on the AI-tool firehose. Getting in is not automatic. Once in, you sit next to fifty other ‘AI for X’ products. Category rank and a real demo matter more than the badge.
