What it does

Injects a ChatGPT response panel directly into Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and seven other search engines. You search, it asks OpenAI the same query, and the answer renders beside the blue links with markdown, code highlighting, and dark mode.

The interesting bit

This was early enough in the ChatGPT gold rush that “acquired” was a plausible fate for a browser extension. The README simply states the repo “has been acquired” and stops updating as of February 2023—no buyer named, no terms given. The author immediately pivoted to ChatHub, an all-in-one chatbot client.

Key highlights

• Supports 10 search engines including niche ones (Kagi, Searx, Naver, Yandex)
• Works with both free ChatGPT and the official OpenAI API, plus ChatGPT Plus
• Custom trigger mode so it doesn’t fire on every search
• Requires browser-specific tweaks: disable Brave’s language fingerprinting blocker, grant Opera search-page access
• Build pipeline outputs separate Chromium and Firefox targets

Caveats

• Repository is explicitly deprecated and unmaintained since 2023-02-20
• No source code changes or security patches since acquisition; use at your own risk
• The “acquisition” details are opaque—who bought it and why is unclear from the README

Verdict

Worth studying if you’re building search-adjacent browser extensions or curious about the early ChatGPT land grab. Not worth installing today unless you enjoy unmaintained code with API keys.
