ChatGPT Search: Default Search Engine Extension

"ChatGPT search" is a Chrome extension that sets ChatGPT as your default search engine, enabling users to search through the browser URL bar. It provides timely answers with links to relevant web sources, blending natural language queries with real-time information like news and sports scores. To redirect queries to Google, simply type "!g [your query]". Users must be logged into chatgpt.com to use the feature and can access OpenAI's Privacy Policy for more details.
