Many users appreciate the extension's AI capabilities, especially for complicated queries and learning. However, common complaints include the disruptive behavior of replacing default search engines entirely, leading to difficulty in maintaining usual search habits. The automatic creation of new chats for every search creates clutter, and some core features like right-click search have broken. Additionally, accuracy issues and malfunctioning redirects decrease usability, causing many users to uninstall or avoid using the extension regularly.

It was better instead of overwriting google completely there was the method like !c {query} to direct to chatgpt. since it is very hard to change the habit to use !g {statement} for searching in google or other search engines and use specific things with chatgpt. this way I still see it more practical just to have chatgpt opened in a tab and if I need it I just send the query for my tasks. specially since querries are not one line command and I need to parametrize it for chatgpt to respond in the best way rather than shoot me random stuff whenever I search something with this method. unfortunately chatgpt is not in a state of replacing the default search engines since they are tuned over years to bring the results eventhough now it is all wasted with all promotions to bring the non sense on top. all in all, for now after two weeks of use I saw this extension totally not practical for me and I still prefer to directly work withing chatgpt website
