User reviews

Users praise Kimi Explorer for enabling free access to Google, YouTube, and Shop searches and appreciate its clean, intuitive interface and space-saving sidebar integration. However, common issues include persistent login problems, lack of synchronization of conversation history and settings across devices, conflicts causing webpage usability issues, and limited functionality restricted mainly to text explanation without translation. Bugs while browsing content also affect user experience. Users suggest improvements like adding domain exclusion features and customizable response languages to enhance the add-on's utility.
