I've been using the chatGPT browser extension for a week now. It replaces Google search for me in Brave.

It was a little odd at first but now I find I won't go back. I love I can ask follow up questions, and it shows the listing results on the right just like a search engine. But it also gives my a such summary on the left, again, with the ability to ask follow up questions.

Anyone trying to build a search engine to provide a Google-like experience is going to fail, in my opinion.

chatGPT search is a game changer. I'll pay $20 month for this forever.



It was the exact opposite for me interestingly. I couldn’t stand chatGPT search beyond a few days, I guess because my search patterns don’t need a bunch of useless words thrown in (locations, very specific keywords that lead to websites etc). The speed is also a big factor. Google search feels almost instantaneous and watching ChatGPT search emit a bunch of tokens before getting to what I need drove me to frustration.
