ChatGPT<\/a> is an incredibly large language model created by OpenAI that lets users experience and explore the power of artificially intelligent systems. This tool is useful in many spheres of entertainment and can do anything from acting as a pseudo-mental health companion<\/strong> to writing stories or screenplays based on your prompts. You can even use ChatGPT to play text-based games. So what is WebChatGPT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few things that ChatGPT cannot do. The utility cannot scrape or browse the web without exploiting a particular loophole, and it has very limited access <\/strong>to anything information posted after 2021. I saw this first-hand when I asked the language model about the current monarch of the UK is. However, there\u2019s a way to get around these rather significant limitations, and it\u2019s easier than you might think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let me introduce you to WebChatGPT, the Chromium-based browser extension that revolutionizes how useful ChatGPT can be. The extension is remarkably easy to use and is available on any Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox<\/strong>, Microsoft Edge, and even my browser of choice, Brave<\/a>. All you need to do is head to the Chrome Web Store and search for the utility, or hit this link<\/a>. From there, simply click Add to Chrome (this will alter depending on the browser you use), and the extension will sort itself out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, it\u2019ll automatically open an interface with ChatGPT, but with a few enhancements. The first thing you\u2019ll see is a new bar below the text box into which you type your prompt. This bar has new options for you to try out, such as altering the time frame <\/strong>within which to search,  deciding how many web results you\u2019d like the utility to issue, and to which region the utility should confine its search. You can also hit the toggle to the left of these options to prevent the utility from searching the web for answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
