Is ChatGPT search safe?

Clean risk

This extension sets ChatGPT as the default Chrome search engine for URL bar searches.

It lets you search from the Chrome address bar and opens ChatGPT search results with timely answers and links to relevant web sources. You must be logged in to chatgpt.com to use it, and you can type "!g" before a query to send that search to Google instead.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed ChatGPT search contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
