Quick browser access to ChatGPT
The ChatGPT Chrome extension is a lightweight web app that brings ChatGPT directly into your browser to speed up everyday tasks. It’s free to install and enables users to ask questions and get near-instant replies, making it useful for research, drafting, brainstorming, and other productivity needs.
What it offers
- Open-source code is published on GitHub to encourage community review and contributions.
- Instant conversational responses inside the browser for faster workflows.
- No cost to download and use for basic functionality.
- The extension now opens in a separate tab to meet updated security requirements.
Privacy and compliance
The developer states a strict privacy stance: the extension does not collect or use user data beyond what’s necessary for its core operation. The move to open ChatGPT in a new tab was implemented to align with OpenAI’s security guidelines.
Adoption and user impressions
With a user base exceeding 100,000—largely in the United States—the extension has received generally positive feedback for being practical and easy to use.
