Tracy Smith (ID: 00000065b3933123) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 This is exactly what I was looking for! I had been hoping to use perplexity as my default search engine, and this chrome application just made it so easy to solve my issue. I absolutely love it!

Raven Jento (ID: 0000007ccf14168a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/07/2023 Vorsicht 🚨 Diese Erweiterung schließt einfach alle offenen Tabs im Browser, wenn man ihn schließt! In den Einstellungen steht, dass die Funktion "Zuletzt angesehene Seiten öffnen" von Perplexity verwaltet wird und es lässt sich nicht mehr so einstellen. Das heisst, alle Tabs sind dann weg, wenn man Browser neu startet. Ich habe die Erweiterung daher wieder gelöscht! An den Entwickler: Warum schließt die Erweiterung einfach ohne meine Erlaubnis alle meine Tabs? Caution 🚨 This extension simply closes all open tabs in the browser when you close it! In the settings it says that the function "Open recently viewed pages" is managed by Perplexity and it can no longer be set that way. That is, all tabs are then gone when you restart browser. I have therefore deleted the extension again! To the developer: Why does the extension just close all my tabs without my permission?

Yisus (ID: 000000e841af122e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/29/2023 I would like to be able to remove the permission to open it as my main page when I open the browser. I used to turn off the PC and then continue working on the browser with all my tabs but now with this extension (which is a great one!) I lose them all because they're closed to open the extension page.

George Bishop (ID: 000000ea742d6090) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/06/2023 I would like it if it did not change my start-up pages as I use the setting where it opens the previously open tabs. Once that is fixed, this is an excellent extension.
