Features & Capabilities

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.

User Reviews

Users report the add-on was valuable for web-backed, up-to-date answers and is liked when functional. However, many say it is now broken or unusable on Firefox (including sign-in failures), and several note a change in ownership to MaxAI.me that brought redirects/prompts and a lack of Firefox updates. A few users still praise it when it works.

Cannot sign in on Firefox (multiple reports)
Ownership change / MaxAI.me takeover reported — users see MaxAI.me prompts, lack of Firefox updates and reduced support

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
