✨I'm grateful for creations allowing us to help in a way like this🙏. 🌊🦈This extension/browser allows you to have a different background🗻 every set amount of times you open a tab(every time, every 5 tabs and such). Pretty enjoyable. Take care everyone and grow and improve.✨

It is a really good idea of a search engine by just collecting advertisements. There is one problem which is when you search something up online it often shows the fake site on top instead of the real site so it doesn't really have safety features. You can search up ChatGpt right now and see for yourself. Overall I really like this extension except for that one thing.
