Looking for ChatGPT chrome extensions?
If that’s a yes, you’ve landed on the right page! In this article, I’ll share a list of the top 10 Chrome extensions for ChatGPT that will help you further ChatGPT functionalities and add additional features like voice conversations with ChatGPT, safe mode control, and prompt library to name a few.
Let’s start!
Top 10 Best ChatGPT Chrome Extensions in 2023
1. ChatGPT for Google
ChatGPT for Google is the most popular ChatGPT Chrome extension with over 800,000 users.
With this extension, you do not need to visit ChatGPT to get an answer.
However, to use this extension, you’ll need a ChatGPT account and log into it.
Once you download and add this extension to Chrome, it offers you several options.
With the trigger mode, you can choose when the extension can provide a response. You can choose between:
- Always – Shows ChatGPT response with every Google query
- Question Mark – Displays ChatGPT response when you add a question mark to a query
- Manually – Click a button manually to generate a ChatGPT response
More importantly, you can also choose the AI provider. Thus, you can choose between ChatGPT Webapp and OpenAI API.
Once you add the OpenAI API key, the Chrome extension will query different OpenAI models like Davinci, Currie, Babbage, and Ada.
ChatGPT for Google is helpful when you want a gist for your query. For example, when I ask it the difference between ‘div’ and ‘id’ in HTML. Here’s what it answers.
In addition, suppose you search for a book name. In that case, the extension writes a book summary. It does the same with movies, products, services, etc.
As a result, this Chrome extension can answer any query you put into Google or ChatGPT. The only downside is that you cannot converse with this extension as you do with ChatGPT.
The next in our list of popular ChatGPT chrome extensions help you solve the most iconic con of ChatGPT, relevancy, and freshness.
2. WebChatGPT
The biggest gripe about ChatGPT is that its data is currently restricted to 2021.
Thus, you cannot query it about current affairs, real-time news, and up-to-date suggestions.
So, how do you get ChatGPT to answer recent or current events (later than 2021)?
To solve this problem, the WebChatGPT Chrome extension provides web access within ChatGPT. Hence, now ChatGPT can accurately answer ‘who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup?’ or ‘Is Elon Musk still the CEO of Twitter?’
With WebChatGPT installed, whenever you open ChatGPT, it shows a ‘Search on the web’ toggle button.
WebChatGPT doesn’t magically provide internet access to ChatGPT. Rather, here’s how it works.
Whenever you enter a query into ChatGPT, the WebChatGPT extension scrapes (up to) the top 10 results from Google. By default, it is set to the top 3 Google search results.
It provides information from the top 3 search results, and after that, ask your question to ChatGPT again. Using the information as context, ChatGPT can now answer your query as if it has web access.
Here’s how it looks when I ask who won the 2022 Fifa World Cup:
Using the top 3 results as a data source, ChatGPT generates an appropriate response.
It uses a default prompt set by the developer. Here’s how it looks:
More importantly, you can set custom prompts, and the WebChatGPT Chrome extension will query it accordingly.
In addition, you can customize the output by playing with different options like time and region.
