Our verdict

Insightly places ChatGPT-generated insights and explanations next to your normal Google search results, without opening a new tab or adding an extra click. Search queries are only used to fetch those insights and aren't stored or reused elsewhere. It's a tiny, single-purpose extension with just one rating on record, so there's little outside evidence of how useful the insights are day to day.
