Chrome Web Store
The actual store for Chrome extensions. Review queue, ratings, search — not a hunt.
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.
Firefox Add-ons and Edge Add-ons are sibling stores. Do those in the same week as Chrome, not on Product Hunt morning.
Evergreen listing
Should you launch on Chrome Web Store?
List here. Do not treat Chrome Web Store as launch day.
Chrome Web Store is a catalog page, not a hunter room. There is no 18-hour comment thread to win. The value is a crawlable URL, a possible backlink (High-authority store URL), and showing up when someone — or an assistant — compares tools.
Do this on a quiet afternoon, with the same one-liner you used on AlternativeTo and your homepage. Paying for a featured slot before the free listing exists is usually backwards.
When: Any week. Best in week 0–1 so the page exists before humans arrive from a board.
Launch here if
- Chrome extensions as the product
- A canonical install URL
- Ratings as the long-term discovery loop
Skip if
- Anything that is not an extension or Chrome app
- Expecting a launch-day comment culture
- Shipping before privacy disclosures are honest
This page answers Chrome Web Store only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

Timing
Chrome Web Store does not compete for launch-day hours. Do it on a quiet afternoon so the hunter morning stays free.
