ChatGPT Search Add-On does not work

[RubenKelevra]

System Details

• OS: ArchLinux
• Thorium Version 128.0.6613.189 (Official Build) stable

Problem
OpenAI released a Chrome Extension for the ChatGPT search today, but the extension doesn't work properly in Thorium and thus won't replace the Google search engine, which is the default for me.

I have the same problem on Google Chrome and Arch Linux, but also on Chromium and Void Linux. I think it's a Chromium problem on Linux.

@ooonea thanks for confirming. Alright, do you wanna contact the OpenAI support or should I do that?

[ooonea]

We both think about it. More reporting is better than less reporting.

Enter the search engine without using the extension:

name browser://settings/searchEngines

• add

• Name: ChatGPT search

• Shortcut: GPT

• URL with %s instead of query:

https://chatgpt.com/?q=%s&hints=search&ref=ext

@RubenKelevra @ooonea Yeah, it's not Thorium specific. Use @SampeiNihira suggestion.
