WebChatGPT: ChatGPT with internet access

Augment your ChatGPT prompts with relevant web search results through web browsing.

WebChatGPT is a free Chrome extension that empowers your ChatGPT experience by integrating relevant web search results directly into your prompts. It enables ChatGPT to access the internet, delivering more accurate and current conversations with up-to-date information sourced from live web browsing.

Key features include fetching web search results, extracting webpage text from any URL, and utilizing customizable prompt templates. Unlike ChatGPT Plus's built-in browsing, WebChatGPT is faster, lightweight, and available to both Free and Plus users without backend servers, operating entirely within your browser. Privacy-conscious users will appreciate that it collects no personal data and is fully open source.

Ideal for users needing dynamic and precise answers reflecting the latest information, WebChatGPT is continuously evolving with upcoming support for multiple search engines and advanced conversational web browsing capabilities.
