Now you can get answers from both Google and Perplexity side-by-side with a single query—no more switching between tabs or typing the same question twice!\n\n\u003cb\u003eNEW:\u003c/b\u003e YouTube video summaries \u0026 support for Brave/DuckDuckGo search\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6db20a44-bac2-4328-8ba1-c7c5eeeae726\n\n## Key Features\n- \u003cb\u003eSeamless Integration:\u003c/b\u003e Automatically opens a Perplexity thread alongside your Google search results.\n- \u003cb\u003eOn-Demand Sidebar:\u003c/b\u003e By default, access the Perplexity window via a dedicated button next to your search results.\n- \u003cb\u003eCustomizable Behavior:\u003c/b\u003e Easily configure the extension to have the sidebar pop up automatically if you prefer.\n- \u003cb\u003eFree to Use:\u003c/b\u003e Enjoy full functionality at no cost. If you like the extension, give the repo a \u003cb\u003estar\u003c/b\u003e! ⭐\n\n## How It Works\n- \u003cb\u003eSearch as Usual:\u003c/b\u003e Enter your query in Google’s search bar.\n- \u003cb\u003eInstant Answers:\u003c/b\u003e A Perplexity thread automatically appears on the right side of your search results, providing a direct answer.\n- \u003cb\u003eEnhanced Browsing:\u003c/b\u003e View both Google’s results and Perplexity’s insights together, making your search experience faster and more efficient.\n\n## (Aug 1) Update:\nUnfortunately, this extension now continuously gives `www.perplexity.ai refused to connect.`. I believe that because I tagged Perplexity in my LinkedIn and X announcements, someone working there has patched this. Because of this, similar extensions have also stopped being able to embed `perplexity.ai` on the webpage or in a side panel. Therefore, I have unpublished this Chrome extension and will move on to other projects for the time being. I plan to soon archive this repo as well.\n\nIf you can get this to work with Perplexity's new update, please submit a PR! If not, it has truly been a pleasure to build and share this!\n\nThis extension has recieved overwhelming love from the r/perplexity subreddit. View my announcement [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/perplexity_ai/comments/1lnyjjk/i_made_a_chrome_extension_that_brings_perplexity/). Within the first week since I posted, it has reached **1.4k downloads** 🚀. Recently, it has even been **featured by the Chrome Web Store** 🌟. \n\u003cimg width=\"1510\" height=\"854\" alt=\"Screenshot 2025-08-01 at 4 27 11 PM\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/320224f2-f252-4652-988c-fa0b20b29bc6\" /\u003e\n\nAlthough this is the end of this extension (for now), this has spurred more ambitious projects to build - to get involved, reach me anytime at rishiskhare@gmail.com.\n\n\n## Installation\nGet the latest version of this extension on the [Google Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/perplexity-on-google-sear/mcpphmhblkibpbdalnocnnpmpfjleaha?authuser=0\u0026hl=en).\n\n## Sign-In Disabled ⚠️\nRight now, the extension is \u003cb\u003e100% free-to-use\u003c/b\u003e and doesn’t have any \u003cb\u003erate limits\u003c/b\u003e.\n\nUnfortunately, to keep it this way, the Chrome extension \u003cb\u003ewon’t allow logging in with Google or Apple\u003c/b\u003e because Chrome security counts this as a redirect. I honestly think it’s better this way to keep the Perplexity queries anonymous—so that pplx won’t associate your Google searches and YouTube video history with your account.\n\nHowever, if you're somehow able to get it working, feel free to make a PR and I'll accept your change into the official code for the next release.\n\nView my announcement on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/perplexity_ai/comments/1lnyjjk/i_made_a_chrome_extension_that_brings_perplexity/)\n\n## Local Installation (Chrome)\n1. \u003cb\u003eDownload the Extension:\u003c/b\u003e Clone the repository.\n2. \u003cb\u003eEnable Developer Mode:\u003c/b\u003e Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
