This release repurposes the extension around what actually works in Chromium browsers today: **auto-send** when ChatGPT opens with a `?prompt=` URL, **quick search** from the popup, and a **one-time setup guide** so you can type `c` in the address bar and jump straight into ChatGPT.\n\n**Repo:** [github.com/jovylle/add-as-search-engine](https://github.com/jovylle/add-as-search-engine)\n\n## What changed in v2\n\nEarlier versions leaned on omnibox APIs and redirect tricks. Browsers block extensions from adding search engines programmatically — that is a malware vector — and omnibox-only flows do not cover every Chromium browser. v2 strips that complexity and focuses on three things that ship cleanly and stay store-safe:\n\n- **Auto-send** — open `https://chatgpt.com/?prompt=your+question` and the extension clicks Send for you (toggle in the popup)\n- **Quick search** — type a prompt in the popup and go\n- **Setup guide** — copy-paste values to add ChatGPT as a site search engine once (Name: `ChatGPT`, Shortcut: `c`, URL: `https://chatgpt.com/?prompt=%s`)\n\nRemoved in v2: omnibox API, `chrome_settings_overrides`, background service worker, and any owned redirect server. Queries go **directly to ChatGPT**.\n\n## How to use it\n\n1. Install from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt-search/apeckljcdhfjjanmjbceanoneldpdndm) (works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi)\n2. Open the extension popup and follow the **one-time setup** for your browser\n3. Type `c`, press Tab, enter your question, press Enter\n4. ChatGPT opens with your prompt; auto-send fires if you left it on\n\nOr skip the shortcut and use **Quick search** in the popup whenever you want.\n\n## Permissions (and why they are minimal)\n\n| Permission | Purpose |\n|----------|--------|\n| `storage` | Saves auto-send on/off locally — no telemetry |\n| `chatgpt.com` host + content script | Clicks Send when the page loads with `?prompt=` |\n\nNo analytics, no middleman server, no default search engine override.\n\n## What it is not\n\n- Does **not** replace your default search engine\n- Does **not** add the search engine for you — you paste values once in browser settings\n- Not affiliated with OpenAI or ChatGPT\n\n## Why manual setup beats magic\n\nChromium only lets **users** register site search engines. Extensions cannot do it on your behalf. Rather than fight that with redirect domains or browser-specific APIs, v2 gives you exact copy-paste values and a popup that walks Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi through the same three fields. After that, `c` + Tab behaves like a native shortcut everywhere the manual entry works.\n\n---\n\n*Side-project ship log.
