Chrometana Pro - Redirect Cortana and Bing

Force Windows 10 and Cortana to use Google Chrome and your favorite search engine instead of Bing!

Chrometana Pro - Redirect Cortana and Bing to Chrome

Chrometana Pro - Redirect Cortana and Bing is an open-source Chrome extension enabling users to dictate Windows OS and Cortana to use Google Chrome and their preferred search engine like Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, or Baidu instead of defaulting to Microsoft's Edge and Bing. While serving as the perfect replacement for the now-defunct parent extension (Chrometana), this extension also provides easy customization options. Regular updates ensure optimal performance and user experience.

Extension summary

Now open source! Find this project on GitHub.

Microsoft tries very hard to make us love and use their new browser, Edge, and their awful search engine Bing; going as far as to make it very difficult for Windows 10 and 11 users to use anything else.

Turn the tide with Chrometana Pro, a chrome extension forcing Windows and Cortana to use Google Chrome and your favorite search engine instead of Edge and Bing. Pick between Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Baidu. Chrometana Pro also makes it very easy for you to add your own search engine and customize if Bing and/or Cortana requests will use your favorite search engine instead.

Chrometana Pro came along to fill the gap left by the original Chrometana extension whose author has abandoned the project.

Leave me feedback :D I'd love to know what you think ;)

Changelog: v2.3 - Fixes to redirection blocking in edge and chrome v2.0 - Redesigned menu + renewed support for windows 10 and 11 with the wedge open-source edge deflector v1.7 - Snazzy new logo
