What is the best Chrome extension for Gemini?
AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox) is the most complete Chrome extension for gemini.google.com in 2026, with 40,000+ users and a 4.6/5 Chrome Web Store rating across its modules. Its Gemini module adds full-text search with role, date and exact-match filters, folders with unlimited subfolders, message bookmarks, Smart Tags, Context Mentions, a Context Meter, a prompt library with chains, watermark removal on generated images, and export as TXT, Markdown, JSON or PDF.
Is the AI Toolbox Gemini module free?
Yes, with no time limit. The free plan includes 5 search results per query, 2 root folders with unlimited subfolders, bookmarks in 2 conversations, Smart Tags on your 50 most recent chats, 2 saved prompts, 3 Context Mentions a day, the Context Meter, single-chat TXT export and watermark removal. Premium ($9.99/month or $99 Lifetime) removes the caps and unlocks Markdown, JSON and PDF export, bulk actions and the Advanced search filters.
Does AI Toolbox work with Google AI Pro, AI Ultra and Workspace accounts?
Yes. It works with every Gemini plan, including the free tier, and with personal and Google Workspace accounts, because it sits on the gemini.google.com interface rather than the model. Your Google subscription and your AI Toolbox plan are independent.
How is this different from Gemini in Chrome, Google's built-in assistant?
Gemini in Chrome is Google's assistant that reads the page you are on and answers questions about it. AI Toolbox does not answer questions; it organises and searches your own conversations on gemini.google.com and gives you folders, bookmarks, export and clean image downloads. The two can run side by side.
Does AI Toolbox search Gemini conversations I had before installing it?
Yes. On first run the Gemini module indexes your existing conversations into a local database in your browser, so search and Smart Tags cover the history you already have. New conversations are indexed as you go.
Does AI Toolbox send my Gemini conversations anywhere?
No. Conversation content is stored and searched locally in your browser and is never stored on our servers. Only what you build in the extension (folder names, bookmarks, prompts, tags, settings) syncs to your account, encrypted at rest. PDF export is the one exception: the conversation is sent to our server to render the file and returned without a copy being kept.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for search on Gemini?
Yes. Cmd+Shift+F on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+F on Windows opens Search History anywhere on gemini.google.com. Cross-platform search across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok has its own global shortcut, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Period, once you opt in.
Does watermark removal delete SynthID?
No. It removes the visible sparkle Gemini draws in the corner of full-size downloads, in your browser, on every plan. Google's invisible SynthID watermark is encoded in the pixel data and is not touched, so AI-generation detectors may still identify the image.
Which browsers can I use it on?
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc and any other Chromium-based browser, from a single Chrome Web Store install. Firefox is not supported.
