Force Windows 10 and Cortana to use Google Chrome and your favorite search engine instead of Bing!

Image from store Chrometana Pro - Redirect Cortana and Bing
Description from store Now open source! Find this project on GitHub. Microsoft tries very hard to make us love and use their new browser, Edge, and their awful search engine Bing; going as far as to make it very difficult for Windows 10 users to use anything else. Turn the tide with Chrometana Pro, a chrome extension forcing Windows and Cortana to use Google Chrome and your favorite search engine instead of Edge and Bing. Pick between Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Baidu. Chrometana Pro also makes it very easy for you to add your own search engine and customize if Bing and/or Cortana requests will use your favorite search engine instead. Chrometana Pro came along to fill the gap left by the original Chrometana extension whose author has abandoned the project. Leave me feedback :D I'd love to know what you think ;) Changelog: v1.7 - Snazzy new logo v1.6 - Fixed extension not redirecting from bing when chrome hasn't yet been opened v1.4/v1.5 - (No chrome update) Firefox "Foxtana Pro" releases v1.3 - Improved size of menu text v1.2 - Fixed search counter counting up too quickly v1.1 - Fixes to the install tutorial page v1.0 - Initial Version ☎ Contact me at [email protected] +1 On google ★★★★★ Rate this extension

  • (2025-06-14) Bradford Adams: * I think this is my first review of an extension! I think it's absolutely awesome, **HIGHLY recommend** it! I ran into a few issues with cutting Edge out of the loop, but quickly found a workaround! > [!NOTE] > > Windows 10 pro Build 19041 > Works as anything should, even from windows search tab on the bar! Opens chrome or firefox, or any other browser > other than Edge
  • (2025-05-28) Andrew C: Only works if Chrome is already open. If I use the windows 11 search bar with chrome closed it will take me to Bing.
  • (2025-05-27) Dawid Blachowski: Dosent working
  • (2025-05-03) Trenton Naylor: best
  • (2025-04-12) Johncarlo Cerdon (JC): awesome.
  • (2025-04-12) MOHAMMED SANI HASSAN: Today is my first time I hope it works for me
  • (2025-03-20) Recursive Anachronism: Still working well on Windows 10. I'm so grateful for this extension. Bing taskbar search is broken with customary MS arrogance. I painstakingly type search terms that it presumptively rearranges, edits or sometimes completely changes into something else entirely,aaargh!!! because of course, MS always knows better. It is infuriating and somehow no one cares. Saved my workflow and mental health , thank you. <3
  • (2025-03-14) Joy Liang: works well on windows 11. great extension
  • (2025-03-04) Amber: What the hell is the point of an extension that tells you to go download another extension? Also, the instructions do not work since they are for windows 10 and I have windows 11 and default apps doesn't work the same way. I know nothing about "wedge" and its safety so I'm ditching this extension.
  • (2025-02-12) Chef Boi: 2/12/2025. still experiencing first search loading Bing until I manually refresh if Chrome was closed
  • (2025-02-11) Nguyễn Minh Khôi: Useful extension if you want to use the built-in search box in Windows without dealing with Bing, Recommended it
  • (2025-02-07) Arush Gautam: i love this
  • (2025-01-31) Cobalt27: It does its job. It redirects Cortana and Bing searches.
  • (2025-01-23) hypnoS: awesome!
  • (2025-01-03) Ittyy Winter: Simple and Efficient
  • (2024-12-24) Zero Cool: Needs to be updated. Because at the time of this review, the last time that it was updated was on January 18th, 2023. ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO NOW!! It still works pretty good once it's set up and all though. However, if you have this extension and it's not working? And when you go to, "extension options," the Chrometana Pro Settings page is all that comes up? You might want to try removing the extension and then adding it back to Chrome. Because then it will go through the instructions again, which will include the instructions for installing, "Wedge."

  • (2024-12-06) Luca B: It does what I wanted it to do ♥
  • (2024-12-06) Luca B: It does what I wanted it to do ♥
  • (2024-11-24) Palindromic Bob: So far so good. Just remember to follow ALL the steps. I'm going to bet the ones having issues didn't install Wedge.
  • (2024-11-19) Chuck Martin: Installed it, enabled it, doesn't work. The search bar still opens edge when any result is web based. Chrome is my default browser.
  • (2024-11-05) Tom Leamon: Take back control of your Windows computer. You own it, not Microsoft, despite their best efforts.
  • (2024-10-17) Jerome Di Pietro: Perfect, works great. Don't forget to read the instructions after installing the extension. Youi'll need to additionally install Wedge
  • (2024-09-30) Oskar Kublik: Doesn't redirect when chrome is closed on windows 11.
  • (2024-09-28) Danny: I was advised by my Navy Federal Credit Union to download another browser when their website thing rejected my recent log in attempts on my Chromebook. Looking for EDGE, I found this Chrometana Pro and now it is downloaded - supposedly. But I do not know how to use it. I do not see how to OPEN the thing let alone make it work.
  • (2024-09-27) Cesar Augusto Martínez Cruz: So many times I hve tried to find out how to not use other search bars other then Google, and it alwasys redirects me to other search browsers that I dislike. Im old school so therefore, I prefer Google. Then again times change and we must adapt Thank you Google for a Crazy Vato Loco like me that used to have his library card as his most inportant thing in his wallet other than some grifer, back then was the most importat. I used to rent or take home movies in VHS, CD Audio CDS n CDA format (now absolete) and enjoy them at home throghout the 90s. Nowadays, I thank google for making it more easier and all.
  • (2024-09-26) Dylan Chau: yesss perfect
  • (2024-09-13) Keon Abrisham: This is a pretty big gamechanger; it allows you to use the search bar on your windows computer like something on an iPhone without Microsoft's clunky browser; it is handy for quick searches without having to use the mouse by just hitting the windows key, I installed it with MSEdgeRedirect on GitHub as recommended instead of edge in I believe in Adminless mode, with the Bing boxes checked in for google and it works perfectly. Could not recommend it enough.
  • (2024-09-09) Michael Samoilenko: amazing!!
  • (2024-09-08) Aitor 1998: Brutal!
  • (2024-09-02) Cameron Olson: Worked straight away. So simple, just love it when programs like this function so seamlessly
  • (2024-09-01) David Kent: Worked immediately on Window 11 after following the installation instructions. I couldn't find any other way to do this.
  • (2024-09-01) Arno Brok: Can't get it work. Still opends Edge and Bing :-(
  • (2024-08-28) Don Rayner: Works great!
  • (2024-08-23) J V: Not working. Tried restarting browser after installing and I still get MS Edge launching into a bing search page when I type something in the Windows-key dialogue box. I really want this to work so if there's anything someone can help with I would appreciate it!
  • (2024-08-16) John Walters: flawless
  • (2024-08-13) Jason Fleischman: Thank You
  • (2024-08-11) Ihave a “Not here” Lim: i want to give the developers a hug, this is revolutionary
  • (2024-08-02) Joo Beng Koh: Omg, I love it. The instructions were easy (not dead easy, but good enough to follow), and most importantly, it works! I was a bit dubious about having to install Wedge, but I scanned it with Norton and it came out all clear. No more st*pid Bing nonsense.... :-D
  • (2024-07-24) Kevin Duarte: Super easy to set up and it worked instantly!
  • (2024-07-18) Paige Julianne Sullivan: Works beautifully! Just remember to install Wedge!
  • (2024-07-05) Thomas Caswell: Chrometana Pro Settings keeps opening up on its own after I changed search engine. Real pain, I'm going to remove it
  • (2024-06-30) Himanshu Sharma: Great thing
  • (2024-06-24) Akshat Kapur: There's only one extension that made me feel like 5 stars are not enough. Thank you so much!
