A free and open-source browser extension that enables web access in
ChatGPT for all users (Free and Plus)
Trusted by 1,000,000+ users
Yahoo! Search.
The extension requires access to all websites because there is no backend server to process web requests, and everything happens locally in the browser. There are two modes: web searching using Yahoo! Search, and extracting webpage text from URLs. Web searching requires access to Yahoo! Search, while URL text extraction requires access to any website. This is why the access to all websites
permission is required.

For example, !pm to search on PubMed, !gsc – on Google Scholar, etc. You can find the full list of available bangs on the Yahoo! Search website. Simply type the bang followed by your search query to perform the search on the corresponding website.
