User reviews

My favourite AI, having it as my search engine provides more accurate and diverse answers, would rate 6/5 if I could.

Es buena, pero no te permite configurar chrome para que recuperes las páginas que tenías antes de cerrar el navegador.

Paco Goro, 2025-02-25

OK, works as expected. I just dont like that it takes over my homepage setting. I need another specific homepage to start with. Would be perfect otherwise
