Do you guys know of any websites that have links to a bunch of web-based games? Like obviously the big ones are there, but I am wondering if there's any platforms out there that help promote developer's project games?

Newgrounds, definitely newgrounds

@SortOfTested didn't know of this, thanks!

It's old school ✌️

Today I found out that addictinggames.com still exists. I vaguely recall playing browser games on that site in my school's computer lab in the early 2000s.

And yeah, I second the Newgrounds recommendation. That site has been around forever.
