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.

User reviews

What the hell is the point of an extension that tells you to go download another extension? Also, the instructions do not work since they are for windows 10 and I have windows 11 and default apps doesn't work the same way. I know nothing about "wedge" and its safety so I'm ditching this extension.

Не забудьте установитьwedge с github MarcGuiselin/wedge/releases, иначе не сработает. Must have to use windows as it intended, but without Bing and Edge! tags for search engines: Not Bing Search in Windows
