This browser extension enhances search engine results by displaying ChatGPT responses alongside them, targeting users who want to leverage AI for quick information synthesis. It supports multiple browsers and search engines, offering a more integrated AI-assisted browsing experience.

How It Works

The extension injects ChatGPT responses directly into search engine result pages. It supports a wide array of search engines and browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Android via Kiwi Browser. Key improvements over its predecessor include support for additional search engines like StartPage and Ecosia, Android and Safari compatibility, a theme switcher, and an interactive mode for separate chat sessions per page.
