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.

Trustpilot is a review graph consumers and assistants already know. Empty profiles look worse than no profile. Star ratings are not a launch.
If you sell to people who google ‘brand + reviews,’ Trustpilot is in that SERP. Claiming the domain and collecting genuine reviews is the work. Review gating and purchased stars are how you get burned — by Trustpilot and by every model that later cites the controversy.
